Hello there Sir! My name is Aleksandar and I'm from FixYa solution team.
It looks like you have real trouble with PS3 HDD corruption, I advise you to watch this short explanation video and follow the rules to make sure you fix the problem.
You
could attempt to boot up the PS3 in safe mode and restore the file
system (should delete any corrupted data). Describing how to start up
your PS3 in safe mode would just be confusing, so instead here's a link to the official page on the PS3 Safe Mode feature.
Follow
the instructions, and then I'd say try options 3 (Restore File System).
If that doesn't work, try 4 or 5 (Rebuild Database or Restore PS3
System).
If that fails, you could just replace the hard
drive. The PS3 uses standard 2.5inch SATA laptop/notebook hard drives
(5400 or 7200 RPM). They can be found online at any computer parts
website; for example, Tigerdirect.
If somehow the new hard drive doesn't fix it, or you don't feel like buying a new hard drive, you could send the PS3 back to Sony. If you're under warranty it's free; otherwise it's expensive (150$ I believe).
If you request the repair service, they send you a box, you put the PS3 in it and ship it back to them. A month or 2 later they send you a fixed/different PS3. Simple, but takes forever to get a working PS3 back which is why I suggest you try a new hard drive first.
If you are getting the corrupted hard drive message this means that you have corrupted data on your hard drive. The link below will help you address this.
1. Plug in the USB drive that contains the data. 2. On the XMB go to Settings then System Settings 3. Go to Back Up Utility like before but 4. Choose Restore rather than Back Up 5. The PS3 does the rest
You can have the PS3 delete the data file from the USB drive by choosing Delete Backup Data.

There is an alternate way to restore your HDD. Turn off your system and when u see the red light, hold the power button in front until you hear a total of 4 beeps (1 alone, 1 alone, 2 together). It usually works on second try. it should show a screen and say hook up controller with a usb cord. Then it should show i think 6 options. Choose the restore option. it should work.
Hope it works and wish you all the best! P.S.- I just got the 80010514 error on my ps3 and my ps3 games dont work anymore :(
