was wondering. for those who hv upgraded to 320gb.. any of you face this problem? whn starting up..
"cannot start. the correct hard disk was not found "

i found plenty of post in other forums stating above whn thy installed a 320gb..

usually whn i get it i off thn restart again.. its b to normal.. its jus annoying.. and i am afraid it might spoil the HD in the long run..

Yea thats the issue with the first 2 batches of the 60GB and 20GB PS3s. Originally, the PS3 only officially support up to a 250GB HDD. But because not long after the PS3 was launched, 320GB HDDs were already around.

Later on, the last batch of 60GB PS3s before the release of the 80GB PS3 fixed this issue.

It shouldn't spoil the HDD in the long run though, its just a matter of not being recognised by the PS3's XMB. Try re-installing the HDD again properly into the PS3 and make sure it fits snuggly, nothing moving about. I've heard that it could also be the SATA connector in the PS3 giving the prob.

My PS3 is connected directly to the router via LAN cable.Still slow. Maybe it's bloody streamyx.

there are allot of causes why its slow.. namely streamyx. if u get the correct IP.. where i am staying.. i always try to get 60.48 any other IP and it will be dreadfully be slow.. 60.49, 60.50 worst is 60.53 the old 218 used to be an industrial line now is slower thn ever.. thn whn i usually get 219 as well.

try to check wat IP u are using. might hell

thn again the above applies to those who stay at subang. other states. diff IP

honestly speaking.. its not about the speed.. its about the quality of yr line.. i am running on 512kb.. but i can download demos and go online on a true 512kbps.. meaning my line really downloads at 60KB (divide 512 by 8) in a sec.. online multiplayer never lags. so i download 1gb in roughly about 4.5 hours.. if i changed mine to a 1mb.. i can do it in 2.. but 4 works out good already for me.

even download a patch for PSN games(300mb) take a long time...

grr.. dunno why..
maybe i should used a new router..

any thanks ruztynail

go narrow down your problem.. whn u use yr computer to download.. how long does it take? change yr ip address. find one tat fits u best.. u need to know all these stuff bfr changing your line. it wouldnt necessary be yr routers fault..

i have to wait 2 days to download 1 GB on a 512k line.(from PSN Store)

no idea why.

wat Ip address u running on? easiest way to find out. for every first 4 number or 6 numbers of yr Ip test it on a US site. download a random file. after awhile u'd know which IP works best for u. for eg. in subang 60.48 worst wonders for me.. if i get other ip adress like 60.50, 60.51, 60.53 or even 218.11 it sucks BIG time!!!

u can actually go into yr router's menu.. thn disconnect and reconnect again. its much faster tat way. and u get to see which IP u're on. my two cents. thumbup.gif

let me add to tat.. the longer u wait bfr u add an additional HDD. the more u hv to back up.. and tat would require u to hv another HDD the same storage as yr PS3.

so say u hv a 80gb to start of wit.. after updates downloads and safe files.. say another 80gb.. u'd need to back tat up to copy into the new 320gb (for eg.)

so if u plan to upgrade.. do it frm the start!
