Hello all, OK so, I replaced my PS4 HDD from 500GB to 2TB all good, today I bought a second hand PS3 and wanted to replace the 160GB HDD that it came with, so since I am not using my old PS4 HDD I wanted to add that into the PS3, so I replaced the 160GB from the PS3 with the 500GB PS4 one and all good. I then downloaded the PS3 firmware and added it in correct folder order, however when I turn on the PS3 with the firmware USB inserted I get the: “Cannot Start. The appropriate system storage was not found” :-/ I also held how the power button and waited for the correct number of beeps but still shows me that error… I also went online and searched and some people said you could just take a PS4 HDD and add it to the PS3 no problems but what am I doing wrong? I hope someone can help me out. Emma
Formatting involves wiping all data on the drive. You must format then install all the folders. You need to find a good guide for installing PlayStation os on the drive.
Fixed it, the PS3 has to be booted up in safe mode and then I was able to format the drive and install the update.
