I had to upgrade my harddrive to something bigger before i could install ubuntu so i purchased one and now iinstalled it but when the ps3 comes on i get black screens tellin me insert media update and system software...i have to use a friends computer to download the new 2.41 update from sony and my friend is gonna save the update on a flash drive and give me it to use...my question is since i can't do anything on my ps3 and i only get black screens telling me to insert media will the flash drive even work since i wont be able to locate it due to the black screens not allowing e to do anything else????? and we are saving the update the same way that sony advised "SYSTEM UPDATE"folder> "PS3" folder> "UPDATE"folder>

I do apologize if this is in the wrong place but i needed some quick help on this because i only have tonight that i can mess with the ps3 and do stuff and i don't know when i will have another chance.

Media Update and System Software have nothing to do with the 2.41 Firmware Update. You should be getting messages like the ones in this link on how to replace the hard drive. http://www.gamersreports.com/article/43/2/
