Okay, so I finally spring for a big gnarly hard drive for my PS3. I go to back up the stuff I have on file and am all set. Problem is... it's not working. Backing it all up... on a flash drive? It's telling me with the backup part of the menu I need 27.8 more GB. So I think to myself "Maybe it's just a matter of saving the games to flash drives." so I do that just fine. Pop out the old hard drive and pop in the new one and...
"The system was unable to start. If the problem persists..." or something to that effect.
So... how do I back up my system? Why isnt the HD being taken by the console? I mean... I was told to back up the system on a flash drive but I called everywhere and nobody even heard of a memory stick with a 30GB capacity and all they had were mirror drives, which might or might not be compatible withh the PS3 software (Probably not since I don't initiate the file save on those, they do it themselves.)
The old hard drive still works okay, though.
