I'm having problems getting my new HDD to work in my PS3. I bought a Western Digital 250GB 2.5 inch SATA notebook HDD and installed it with the directions on this site. When I 1st started my PS3 with the new HDD it gave me this message.

Quote:
The system software cannot be run correctly. Press the PS button to restart the system.

If the system cannot be restarted, the system partition of the hard disk must be formatted and you must reinstall the system software.

Insert storage media that contains update data of version 2.60 or later, and then press the START and SELECT buttons at the same time.
So I pressed the PS button to restart it and this message came up again. I then downloaded the 2.60 update from the Sony website and put it on my PSP in the correct folders just as it instructed me to. Plugged the PSP into my PS3 and tried to update it. After a few seconds of it searching for the file on the PSP it told me the file was corrupted (8002F225).

I put back my old 40GB HDD that came with the PS3 and it starts up fine but keeps giving me the same message when I put in the new one.

Do I have to format the new HDD with my PC? If so, what cables would I need? I have no clue what to do. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

HI burn the update to a disk cd/dvd and execute the file like that and it should be fine!
