    Got this message yesterday. Googled it and tried theses suggestions

    -unplugging it
    -holding down power button til it beeps so many times
    -Taking the HDD out and putting it back in

    None worked.

    Has this ever happened to anyone here?

    Do i need a new HDD or a new PS3?

    PS3 is out of warranty too.

    Thanks.

    i posted this in the troubleshoot thread but no replies, maybe people didnt see it

    I get this message every now and then on my launch day 60 gig PS3 that now has a 320 gig WD hard drive in it .

    I just hold down the power button until it restarts and then it does be fine , funny enough I never have it happen to my 40 gig PS3 that has the same type 320 gig WD hard drive in it.

    I upgraded my 60gb with a 320gb of the same make (seagate) about 6 months ago & have had this problem a few times, turning it off & back on again works for me.

    A word of warning: If you remove your hard drive & put it back in the ps3 formats it.

    Tried all those things and nothing worked. Think i'll have to buy a new one. Anyone know the best/cheapest ones to get?

    Choose the rebuild database option, worth a try before you buy a new one
