mackenzie129 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Has anyone's Ps3 pretty much forced them to format the drive? I was getting a stupid error code for Black ops 2 about trophy lists so I tried booting it in safe mode it pretty much made me format my drive.

Lance_87 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Well the same happened to me when i tried to restore the file system and the HDD basically self-corrupted... i swore to never ever use that option anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldor2K2 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The only time my PS3 HDD crapped out was when I was trying to copy a save file off a USB back to the PS3. It got to about 45% or and just stopped. I didn't want to touch it, so I took a shower and 15 minutes later it was still there. I couldn't power it down, and had to physically unplug it from the surge protector to shut it down. Not surprising when I booted it up again everything was wasted. I guess my situation was different, but just shows that if you want to move around backup saves it may be best to use the PS+ cloud if you're a subscriber.

mackenzie129 Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Did you two have to redownload a lot of games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floorkiller74 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I just bought a new HD for my PS3 because my last one had an error and needed to re-format. When It did (I of course, lost everything) I was missing 15% of my usable storage space....sucks that it corrupted the whole thing. Now I get to look forward to DLing all my DLC/patches again. It was a stuffed full 1TB HD, but IDK how much was installs vs DL's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightstream88 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 yep, decided to haven't had my PS3 hooked for a couple of months and was going to play a game on it but had a Black Screen so had to boot up in safe mode(which at least worked), but System Rebuild and nothing else worked so had to do restore system file got an error about 32% of the way and wouldn't do nothing unless I reformatted the system. Lost all of my save games and data. The heavy losses were Okami, Final Fantasy XIII and GTA IV. Final Fantasy XIII I had one trophy left to do so now I have to play the game again(but if it corrupts again for whatever reason I'm likely never playing the game again or quitting trophies for good.) Thought I had the save file on cloud storage, but somehow I knew I didn't. Right now I'm waiting for trophies to Sync going to turn the system off and unplug it again so hopefully the only positive thing is the system still working. Probably need to get another PS3 as back up in case this one dies for whatever reason or maybe 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
