I've tried 5-6 hard drives. It will load up through the menu where it wants to reformat it but regardless of what HD I put in it, it doesn't accept it. I've tried so many PS3 and non ps3 hard drives and I'm at a lack of understanding as to why it wouldn't.
It's like it doesn't want to register it. Any solution to this because it has no warranty?
Model is CECHH01
Is this a good question?

markus, you can do better than that limp link ;-)
richard,
you're right - but there are many possible ways to get this done
ok - one trick could be to install windows on the hdd and then put it into the ps3 to format it.
another one is to put it in a larger model and format it there.
next one was formatting it with formatting tools
but i think that there are a few mor infos needed before a possible solution could be found.
what exactly happens when you try to format it in the ps3 ?
does the ps3 the hdd find at all ?
Thanks for the clarification +
Well yes.. I've tried quite a few drives and even reformatted 2 on the computer following instructions on how to do so.
When I put it in, it says you need to reformat this drive and then goes through 2 more pages and stops completely. It finds the drive, recognizes it needs to be reformatted but it's like it can't reformat it. Any ideas?
What hdd did you use? (speed/size). do you try to make a full format or a quick format?

Try formatting the hard disk in format that PS3 supports
