Uh I went and did something dumb. Didn't back up my data and I went and plugged my PS3 HDD into my PC. Was going to try to clone my 120 GB to my new 500 GB, and hey it should've been a straightforward thing, 2 SATA drives what could go wrong?
Turns out it's encrypted, and Windows helpfully overwrote the MBR. Am I pretty screwed? Any way to recover the PS3 HDD without losing my save data? |

QUOTE(shahreza2000 @ Jul 5 2011, 03:46 AM) why no backup? yeah like I said, I went and did something dumb :'(  again... a costly decision.... since ps3 data on the hdd is using sony proprietary format (hence its encrypted for each system)pretty much screwed you gonna lose all that data i'm sure the ps3 would ask for hdd reformat  It was something so basic and simple. Swapping / cloning a HDD.. ez what. Found out the hard way. After doing some research I know this can be done (not easily), I'm just hoping someone can tell me how. |
