    Hey all,

    I am just in the middle of installing the OS for the Ps4 as I upgraded my HDD and it seems to not recongise the file?
    I have formatted the flash drive to exFAT and also downloaded the larger file size for the fresh install but I keep getting this error? I also have the folder names and file names correct anyone any ideas ?

    Format to Fat32 and make sure you have dl'd the full software update, the one that's about 900mb ,not the 400mb-ish.

    Do you have to put it in a folder like the ps3 update?

    Edit :

    Download the update file, and save it in the "UPDATE" folder you created in
    step 1. Save the file with the file name "PS4UPDATE.PUP".

    Yeah I did it in the end the link for the download of the official ps4 website wasn't up to date it seems ! Downloaded it from another source ps4firmware ! It's working now !
