Hi All,

Want to ask, there is a problem with my PS3 (Slim 320gb),

Run down towards the problems are:

1. Playing un-updated Sleeping Dogs
2. Trying to save game and it cant (PS3 Hang/unresponsive)
3. Reset the PS3
4. After reseting, on TV there's a message "The file system on the system storage is corrupted and will be restored"
5. PS3 Restoring but not complete
6. After the restoring process not complete it go straight to Blank screen.
7. And TV turn back on with same message "The file system on the system storage is corrupted and will be restored"
8. Ask for restore again and it goes back to situation no. 4

Any one knows what happens with my PS3?

Currently i try with save mode and Restore file systems, but after around 1.5 Hours nothing happens and it stay in "Preparing ... Please Wait" message.

So, what happens with my PS3 and how to fix it?

Let me know if i post this in wrong thread.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your HDD is corrupt. Pray that you can start it up again and quickly backup as much as you can.

now i'm trying to rebuild the database and it still's "Preparing... Please wait" message.

if lets say it cant start up again, what is the worse scenario?

Worse case scenario, remove the HDD, buy a new one, and reinstall and update the PS3 data files again. The old HDD can kaput already. Suggest you try this first by borrowing the HDD because am not sure if its also your internal motherboard or blu-ray issue but so far the symptoms you mention point out to HDD failure. (I experienced this before).

Worst case scenario, you need to buy a new PS3.

I haven't try Restore PS3 System choices in PS3 save mode (just try rebuild database and still no response).

By the way, can i used my HDD external to test it first?

The HDD is encoded once its formatted for PS3 usage. The encoding limits it to only be readable with the PS3 itself so you can't even check it out in your friends PS3. Only thing can be done is reformatting it but that means wipe out the whole data.

So far I don't know anybody who have the means to access the content of the HDD. If you do let me know, as I still have my HDD that has all my old save data lying around.

Yes i mean Re-formatting with the save mode (Restore PS3 System), i personally don't mind to loss all my save data as long i can play again.

So the way that i can try is formatting the HDD 1st with Restore PS3 System and if its didn't work then i need to buy a new HDD right?

Yeah try and reformat first. Else need a new hard drive.

You may need to reformat on a PC with FAT32 file though if can't do it on PS3. See the 1st few posts of this topic for details.
