I want to thank all of you who took the trouble to comment in this post, regardless of whether your comment was useful or not, most of them were obviously useful

In fact this morning I solved that HDD problem , And I realized that the copies I made were not in RAW format instead of that it was "compressed image" that's why the first 4 sectors looked the same, upon noting that, restore the backup copy and check it with the hexadecimal editor and then...

or tell me @Berion you know some other tool that can back up a hard drive sector by sector (other than HDD RAW Copy because both the initialized copy and the corrupt copy are presumably equal to 0 to 4096 offset)

Yes, I made a backup sector by sector before modifying, the solution of copying the first 4 Mib does not work for me because the first 4 Mibs are literally the same, comparing the initialized partition versus the clean partition

There is no tool or application that can compare matches? my idea is to search within 4096 offset to the final offset where to where I have to patch the file

apparently removing the GPT partition using the DISKPART command does not work to fix the ps3's HDD. @sandungas Simply because of my disinformation I thought I could access the saved games of my games, through the HDD and since I did not appear in the file explorer of Windows I saw a video in...

Anyway, thanks for clarifying that "offten" @Nomeji How did you use the Winhex program?

although from 0 to 200 both partitions have the same hexadecimal values, is it mandatory to use Winhex? It is very slow it takes 2 hours to eliminate the hexadecimal values regardless of how many blocks are

How could I read the partition table? I had been recommended to "read" with WinHex but I do not know how to identify a sector in hexadecimal form only it has a size of 512 bytes but in the editor itself it does not handle it by bytes but by "offset" and "block" But apart I do not know if it is...

My ps3 is eMMC ,and I have not started with GTP, because I did not know what a sector was. I think that the "hdd reader" will not work because I do not have the eid_root_key file, as far as I could only get it if my ps3 had a cfw firmware, but mine has OFW

I still have doubts and is that I do not know from which sector to which sector is where I change Windows, since sector 00000000000 to sector 00000004096 have the same values and from 00000004096 is where things start to change .... the image in the middle is from the clean partition of ps3

Muchas gracias por la información [USER = 21] @ 3141card [/ USER] y gracias a todos los que se tomaron la molestia de comentar y ponerse en contacto con @3141card

So, I just have to make a backup to the hdd with HDD Raw Copy to later format the hdd with the ps3, then make a copy also to that new partition and then open the Winhex editor with those two partitions, copy the difference of the first sector of the new partition and paste it into the old...

I think I already found the old contribution of 3141card and quote it verbatim "He wrote a pm asking if I formatted the hdd already. and since I was unable to say I quit, in my mind, I left it alone and did not give up. then he told me about how first sector is only overwritten by windows and...

If I delete the partition overwritten of the HDD , It´s possible that I can recover my information? Because I see that my ps3 hdd has a partition of 128 MB
