Yeah, thank you so much 3141card for taking the time to look into Fat NOR HDD support for hdd_reader! I know it must have been a while since you last looked at the code, but the fact that you were kind enough to help me out means so much to me! Thanks to the support of 3141card, I was able to...

The problem with my old HDD is that my PS3 wants to format it when it boots up (likely because it was damaged in some way when it suddenly YLOD'd on me... however, when I plug the HDD into the PC, it's able to read all the files fine, so I'm confused!). If I were in a position to install CFW on...

I see... Hmm, it seems like the best option is to do as you say and install dual boot CFW, but I don't want to lose access to playing online and accessing the Playstation Store. I'm going to have to consider my options. Thank you very much for all your help, Berion! For now, I did an experiment...

Yeah, I'm really sorry my posts are so confusing! Thank you for being patient with me, and always taking the time to reply! My wording may have been unclear, but what I want to achieve has always been option 3. Basically any way in which to get my old data from my old HDD to a new HDD and in the...

Sorry for the late reply! It won't solve all my problems, but I managed to get my IDPS number from PSNPatch! I thought the xRegistry.sys file was related to my user accounts, and that if I didn't have it, if I were to copy the users over from my old HDD to a new HDD, it wouldn't work. Maybe I...

Yeah, doesn't seem like there's any easy way to do what I want to do, haha! I did some further investigating, and it seems I was using an out of date version of the CLI ps3 hdd reader. Turns out fat ps3 hdds are only supported by v1, which I couldn't find anywhere on the internet (all were dead...

Thanks for that! Seems I have to jump through a lot of hoops, and even still, it still seems quite risky. Hmm... Well since I've made a backup of all my data on my HDD, would it be easier to just resign all my saves? Is it possible to resign saves for a new profile on OFW? Would I still be able...

Yeah, I don't blame you! I wish I had a Windows 7 computer handy... :( That's a good idea, though! I'll try plugging my PS3 HDD into the PC without an adaptor and see if that makes a difference. Oh, sorry for the confusion. Yes, I do have two PS3s, one OFW PS3 and one CFW PS3, but I'm only...

Yeah, I did manage to find a tutorial for mounting PS3 hdd on newer Linux kernels (I can't post the link, it seems), but it seems to be specifically for slim hdds. My PS3 is a far 40GB model (NOR), with a 1TB HDD. Anyway, I have already got the e_r_k of my PS3, because I was able to get my YLOD...

Ahh thanks, that’s good to know! That should be easy enough to grab, then. Now I’ve just gotta get that xRegistry file off my old HDD...

Hi again, thanks for your help! Okay, cool! That’s all very useful! I tried to use the command line version but I kept getting the “no ufs2 superblock found” error. I couldn’t find any clear way to fix it online. I read that mounting the hdd in linux is better, and I read the Mounting HDD on PC...

Thanks for your reply! EDIT: Unfortunately, I don't have xRegistry.sys. Is there a way to get it off my HDD? It seems that ps3 hdd gui only gives me access to dev_hdd0 and dev_hdd1. Apparently xRegistry is on dev_flash2? Hmm... Ahh, I see! Do you know how I could make a System Backup archive...

I'll be using it with the same PS3, so it should be alright, shouldn't it? If it's possible, I was thinking I could copy the old xregistry over to the new hdd, and then perform a Rebuild Database from Safe Mode. At least, that's what it looked like others had to do for their cases. The problem...

Hi there! I've found a few useful threads here that are somewhat related to my issue, but my situation's a little bit specific, so I'm wondering if any of you knowledgable people might be able to help me out! A couple weekends ago my OFW PS3 YLOD'd out of the blue on me mid-game. I sent it off...
