Took my hd out but still wouldnt boot,so need to try this fix, but now you have mentioned the hd you have think ill look into changing mine, more storage is always a plus
Where did you find your 120gb?
ps. hope you realise now you said yours never missed a beat........its going to happen
Well, it needs the HDD to boot and set itself up again.
Once you add the new HDD, it will install the PS3 OS onto it.
Be aware tho that you don't get a HDD too large in capacity, because depenting on the number of platters use, the thickness will vary. Too big and it won't fit the caddy properly.
I took my current 120GB drive from a portable HDD for my PC, but you should be able to use any 2.5" laptop drive, just make sure it's a SATA interface
You could start looking here and see if you might fancy one http://www.scan.co.uk/Shop/Computer-Har ... ATA-SATAII
