Hi there,

If you are able to access the PS3 XMB, then you likely need to reformat it. I would suggest you backup your PS3 if possible before doing this, as reformatting it will cause you to lose all saved states.

Then you need to reformat it. You can do this by going into the system settings and selecting Format Utility.
This should hopefully fix your PS3 problem. Hope this helps.

My PS3 starts up but then says "The hard disk file

Your HARD DRIVE (aka: Hard Disk), located on the left side of the unit, has crashed. You will need to replace the HD.

When you replace your hard drive, you will need to have the latest firmware on a

usb stick. Download the firmware from the playstation official website onto a usb

stick. Once prompted by your system you will need to insert the usb stick into the

PS3. Good luck..



You will need 2.5" Sata Hard Drive.

Playstation 3 hard disk files corrupted???

hey ash,

ps3 Hard drive needs to be manually reformatted and checked for bad sectors.

as what youve said, you already formatted it and yet it still says there is a corrupt system file.

when i say "manually formatted" you have to clearly take the hard drive out and format it using another pc or ps3.

Corrupted hard disk?

If your ps3 is still under warranty, call Sony and they will have to fix it.

Also if you still have your receipt, take it back to where you bought it and they might give you a new one.

If not, you can try re-formating your hard drive in another computer.
