Describe your problem:
Ok so i recently was playing skyrim for the PS3 and then it froze for quite a while, so i had to restart. But when it came back on again it said "Cannot Start. Correct hard disk not found". So i searched and searched for answers. I did find threads regarding this issue, but their issue was related to hacks (something about e3flasher/flashing and something else). I don't hack so i don't know any of those things.Anyways i tried doing these:
1.) Tried to "reseat" the HDD
2.) Blew the dust off
3.) Tried system restore (it would not allow me to access the menu though, it always comes back to the "Cannot Start. Correct hard disk not found" prompt)
The HDD in question is a Fujitsu 160GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s.
Have not done, but will try ASAP (from what i read online):
1.)Jumper shunt
2.) Vacuuming the HDD hole thingy
And lastly, if all else fails
3.)Buying a SATA 2.5 enclosing for reformatting via PC
I'm trying to salvage the game saves from the HDD, but can't since the PS3 would not boot properly. I also know you can't use the enclosing-usb method to access the files via PC since it would not be able to read it.
If anyone knows any new method in accessing the HDD by any means, i need your utmost help.
Thank you very much!
