hmm, your problem is quite unique. where did you buy your PS3? issit a PAL set from UK/Oz? i dunno why the XMB is set at 576p. for me, i kenot even select 576p.

any other forumers have any idea what's the bug in his setup?

I've stumbled upon a problem..

Restore utility will not allow users to have an OtherOS partition.. It will wipe the OtherOS partition on the new HDD eventhough we partitioned it before restoring.. Anyone knows a workround for this?

Obviously the OtherOS partition never backed up. Got no experience with this.

You need to re-do the partition and re-install the OS.

Try to see the PS3's original HDD on your PC, maybe you can see the OtherOS partition (as it should be FAT, but not the PS3 partition though, it's of totally different file system) and try to retrieve your data.

Yeah I know the OtherOS partition is not backed up. And PCs cant see PS3 and its OtherOS partitions as they are both encrypted and proprietary. However, IF we really want to use Linux in new HDD, we cant use the restore utility. We can only choose either to

a) create OtherOS partition
OR
b) restore from external HDD


The restore utility will just wipe the OtherOS partition created in the new HDD before the restoring (even though it is empty) and will leave the HDD with a single PS3 partition. It's like an endless cycle: If we want to repartition to allocate 10GB for OtherOS partition, the data in the HDD will be lost. After creating the OtherOS partition, any restoring process will result in a single PS3 partition again..

Please update.

PS2 Eyetoy works only with LIVE chat, not with PS3 Eye apps/games.

I found out the hard way. Will buy an EYE in Singapore in near future.
