Sony PlayStation 3 since x-mas and now it's saying hard disk files system is corrupted, will be destroyed. Can't even play my games now. What does this mean? How can fix it?

Solution details

  1. yes that is correct put ur ps3 HDD in your laptop and run ur recovery cd and it will format you disk... or you can buy a new HDD for cheap on amazon u can get 100 GB to 160 GB for less than 100 dollars sony will charge 150 ) to fix ur problem.... or you can buy an external hard drive the USB ones and format ur HDD... good luck
  2. found a solution take out your hdd and just put it into a freinds ps3 if possible and it will reformat take it out and put it back in your own and it will say reformat again and hey presto workin again.
  3. k their is a solution if (u can get past the screen saying "hard drive file system corrupt") u use a memory stick u can upload all ur save files on ur ps3 (make sure u put files in a folder with no other files because u can end up with loads of corrupt data) but if (like me ) u r stuck on the screen saying hard drive file system... then u hav 2 re format by following what the instructions onscreen say. oh btw i've got mine in a loop so every time i reformat it comes back to reformating screen any1 kno how 2 fix that??
