Hard Drive swap on PS3...?

My 60 GB PS3 is dead, but the hard drive works fine. I have an external hard drive, but my PS3 won't turn on so I can't back up the hard drive. If I put the hard drive in my friends PS3 or bought a new one and put it in that, could I then make a backup of all my data for use on my new PS3 and new HDD?

Answer
Yes you can just unscrew that little box and pull the hard drive forward then out then unscrew the case and take it out.
Then Buy a new ps3 or use somebody Else's and put yours in and go to settings system backup and plug in a portable hard drive and backup. then buy a new PS3 and in setting up there should be restore system and make sure the drive is plugged in. then it should restore then your done!

You could then keep the hard drive as a spare or sell it on Ebay or another site

Play Public HD Bluray file from portable hard drive to PS3?

Slim Shady

I wanted to test out my new 5.1 speaker system which is hooked up to my PS3 through the receiver. I downloaded a 45GB Bluray movie from Public HD. Problem is, PS3 only reads FAT32 drives and FAT32 drives can only copy 4GB files at a time. Also even if i got it on the hard drive, how do make it so that the PS3 reads the file as a disc?

Answer
You can't play pirated movies using a flash drive on the ps3 console because of the anti piracy software cinavia so it's not worth your time trying .

at best the movie will play the video only and at worst it will not play at all after the console detects it is not a legit blu-ray with the 6 layers of security blu-ray movies and games have on them
