Question Hard Disk Error

I just got a ps3 that had an error stating "cannot start system, can not find hard disk" I thought it was the hard drive and changed that and it still says the same thing. Any ideas? I could sure use them
Thanks

Default Re: Hard Disk Error

Something is wrong with the hard drive interface inside the PS3, it seems. It may be easier to exchange it for another system or contact Sony to arrange a repair/ exchange for free (gotta love one year warranties).

Lightbulb Incorrect Hard Disk Error

I swapped in a 320GB HDD too and have EXACLY the same problem. I contacted SONY and they said they haven't heard of this before. What a load of bunk that is, there is a bunch of us having that. They told me to do all this crazy stuff about reseating, etc... but since it works with a reboot there is no real issue *OR* they know there is an issue but it is self-healing on the restart. This only started for me after the 2.41 update. I have noticed that I seem to have it mostly (only?) when I have accessed the XMB when something else is running. I am trying to find a repeatable pattern to show SONY so they can fix it.... although a reboot does solve it, seeing the "incorrect hard disk" error always gives me a bit of a scare.

Have you reported the issue to SONY? I backed off because the rep was so convincing that it was "me".... but I won't now.

PM me and we'll see if we can open a ticket and add our names to the same issue.... same with everyone else with the problem.... message me and we'll go in as a group -- they won't be able to say "we haven't seen that before" when there is a bunch of us with the same symptom.


Cheers!

Merkley
