I wanted to change my PS3 internal hdd. I've done it before, I upgraded from 160gb to 500gb. I decided I'm gonna sell the PS3, so I put the 160 back in it.
The ps3 begins to boot normally then turns off as if it were unplugged after about 3 seconds.
so i took the hdd out, then turned the console back on. After a little while, a message on screen "can not start. The appropriate storage was not found "
Makes sense, as if took the hdd out. I formatted it to NTFS, reinserted, and the console silence would not boot. Thanks ..!
