I wondered since the HDD is not damaged if I might be able to extract the data off my HDD, so I did some more research, and found out about PS3 HDD GUI.
I plug it back into the PS3, and it still refuses to get past 40%. I connected my HDD to my PC, and ran a scan, but unfortunately it found no bad sectors. There's no way I was going to let hundreds of hours of save files go down the drain, so I did some researching, and found people facing a similar problem as me had success restoring their HDDs with HDD Regenerator. I sent it off to a guy to fix it for me, and I just got it back the other day! However, upon booting my PS3, it goes through the typical HDD check after being unexpectedly shut off, and it craps out at 40%, informing me that the HDD needs to be formatted.
Hi there! I've found a few useful threads here that are somewhat related to my issue, but my situation's a little bit specific, so I'm wondering if any of you knowledgable people might be able to help me out!Ī couple weekends ago my OFW PS3 YLOD'd out of the blue on me mid-game.
