Hello. The PS3 should say that it's corrupted and ask you to press X to reformat it. If it keeps doing that then you need to take it out and use a USB external drive case and reformat it on your PC. Just plug it in and click on Start > Computer > right click on the drive and click format.

Or you can just replace it and upgrade it at the same time.

I wish you the best of luck. Thanks!!

Open Computer by clicking the button " Start " and then click Computer.
Right-click the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties.
Click the Tools tab , and then , under Error-checking , click Check . Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation , type the password or provide confirmation .
To automatically fix problems with files and folders that the scan detects , select Automatically fix file system errors . Otherwise , the disk check will report problems but not solve .
To run a full disk check , select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors . This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the same hard disk and may need more time to complete .
To check for errors in both files and for physical errors , select both check boxes AutoCorrect file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors .
Click the Start button .

System won't start it says you have a currupted hardrive

You'll need to reformat the console's hard disk. This can be done via the Settings > System section of the XMB. Note: All contents of hard disk including saves will be deleted.

Hard disk currupt

Unfortunately it sounds like you do need a new HDD.
If you only played for 4hrs I can only assume that your machine is still under warrenty- in which case SONY should fix the problem for you.
If not, follow this link for a good step-by-step guide to replacing it, seem fairly straight forward -

Make sure you read the NOTICES section at the top of the page so you know what you are getting yourself into.
Also, check this link to actually see someone doing it before you attempt it yourself -
