Ps3 harddrive issues restoring manytimes

[MacHappytjg]

I turned on my ps3 wanting to play battle feild bad company when i get the message the harddrive is corrupt and i need to restore so i say ok why not and it keeps on trying to restore and did it about 5 times getting me now where can i resolve this without buying a new one?

Take the HDD out and reformat from your computer....of course you will lose all of your saved stuff but its better than having a $400 paper weight.


Note: remove the HDD, wait 12 seconds and put it back in....the PS3 might snap out of it and reformat it...if not then proceed to what I said above
