I picked up a 500gb hdd 6-8 months ago and installed it with no problems. It's been working fine up until about a month ago.
Recently, i've been getting "Correct Hard Disk not Found" messages occasionally on bootup, and I read to remove/reattach the hard drive, but the problem continued after doing that. Right now I am in the process of backing up the data, format the drive, restore data.
I backed up my data to a USB flash drive and started the HDD format, it's telling me the format is going to take 28+ hours!!!! After an hour, it's 1% done.
This is a launch PS3, has anyone formatted a 500gb hdd in their PS3 and if so, did it really take that long?
I'm fine with letting it run, but concerned that it might be a sign of a bigger problem, coupled with the "Correct hard disk" error i've been getting lately.
Thanks for any help or feedback.
***Update***
After 12 hours of running, the format is 33% complete, so it looks like it is actually working. Still strange that it takes that long just to format a hard drive...
