help needed..
changed my ps3 (40gb SG set) hdd to seagate 320gb 5400 rpm..
did as per instruction..
when i start my ps3 , initially it says connect controller to USB and press PS button..
after that this is what came out:

"the system software cannot be run correctly. Press the PS button to try and restart the system.

If the system cannot be restarted, the system partition of the hard disk must be reformatted and you must reinstall the system software.
insert storage media that contains update data of version 2.30 or later, and then press START and SELECT buttons at the same time.
For information on how to obtain update data, refer to the SCE Web site... bla x3"

i thought the ps3 will reformat the new hdd automaticaly??
tried pressing the start select buttons at same time... all it did was checking and then said nothing found..
aaaa panicking...

a thumdrive wit fat32 format?

haaa so relieved, moment of torture is gone...
