First, how old is your ps3? Hdd size and how much have you used it? Such as install delete repeatedly, also I personally swapped my 320 slim for a 1tb and trying to restore a backup caused corruption, but a fresh install of cfw and formatting, has seemingly cleared up my issues. I think my 320 gb was dying. It's worth checking.
bergot said: ↑. Nope, you can't clone it with windows..you will have to use the backup utility in the settings of the ps3 (Its necessary a USB HD to receive that backup)..with the backup in hands.. Replace the HD..install the firmware and restore the backup in the new internal HD. 1ZuF. 169 347 66 79 34 234 55 281 73
