In order to prevent piracy, each hard drive used by a PS4 is crypted. The key is linked to the motherboard. So if you change your motherboard or your hard drive, you will have to format your drive to use it.

Install the new hard drive

Download the update. Place the PS4UPDATE.PUP on a USB key in ://PS4/UPDATE (download here official https://www.playstation.com/en-us/suppor...

Plug the USB key

Touch the power button for at least 7 seconds.

Select [Initialize PS4 (Reinstall System Software)]

Sorry you lost your saves.
