Is there any way to back up a Playstation 3 format hard disk drive with a PC?

Question by David: Is there any way to back up a Playstation 3 format hard disk drive with a PC?
My PS3 died (original 60GB model). I had upgraded the drive to a 320GB, so I swapped it back out for the 60GB that came with it when I sent the system to Sony for repair. When the replacement system came I put my 320GB drive in it and learned that any hard disk that has been formatted for one PS3 system cannot be used on another PS3 system until it is reformatted!
Of course they recommended that I back up the drive before sending the PS3 back to them but A) There wasn’t anything wrong with the drive B) I didn’t send them the drive I was using and C) The PS3 WAS BROKEN so I couldn’t run the backup utility!
Sony didn’t warn me that this would happen, otherwise I’d have tried to fix the thing myself, at least so I could get it working enough to run the PS3 backup utility. As it is, my son is going to come home from school and learn that all of the Little Big Planet stages he and I made together, all of the videos he made with the PlayStation Eye, and all of our save games are trapped in this little HD and we can never access them again.
All I need is some piece of software for a PC or Mac that can read this PS3 hard disk drive and make a backup of the data that I can put on an external hard disk and restore to my PS3. Does any such utility exist?

I don’t believe so, but it doesn’t hurt to look around. The high security encryption the PS3 console uses is used on the hard drive as well, so a PC or Mac won’t understand it, despite being in FAT32. As far as I know, nobody has cracked this so a PC or Mac can read it.
Don’t wait for the console to break before backing up. You’re supposed to back up in case the console breaks.

Nop it dose’nt even backup the whole game, just the bits that make loading and saving faster. And after u install the game, it dosent show up on the game menu, it gets saved in game save utility.

i’m no expert but i think the ps1 and ps3 are using two different formats. they aren’t interchangeable. if you can’t play ps1 games on the ps3 it won’t work even with a memory stick. try to play a ps1 game on the ps3 and if it works give it a shot.
i can’t even play ps2 games on mine so i highly doubt it will work with ps1. good luck. if you find a way to make it work you will be a hero so hit us all up with some info if you crack the code.

They haven’t come up with a codec to play other games in a PS3 yet. I know you can crack games into Xbox 360 but not PS3 yet. However you can crack PS3 to play burned games that are for PS3.
E-mail me and I will send you an update when game codecs for other consoles are compatible with the PS3. ;D

I am going to Phuket soon and I was wondering is there is any cheap copied games. And if there is how much would they cost?

Answer by choycit
Nah, they don’t make pirated PS3 games because it takes a lot of money to buy a blu ray disc, than a blu ray burner and than a PS3 to try it on, thus probally losing more money on bricking the PS3s and wasting blu ray discs
In short they don’t make copied games in Thailand

Hello guys i want to know is there any way to make back ups of your PS3 games in case they get broken or scratched. . .
I know that they are very expensive and i dont want anything to happen to mine and i have a little brother which adds to the problem.
As far as i know you need a Blu-ray burner and some sort of software but please go into detail as i am not sure. . .
Also if a back up is made will i still be able to play online???
Thanks in advance guys
i would not be selling them or anything illegal and i never said i would be doing this i am just asking guys just for you info

Mate that’s illegal. You’d be creating bootleg Playstation games. I’m not sure if you can do it easily anyway
