Hey!

I just got YLOD month ago or so, but still got my harddrive with all the data, because i didn't send it over with the machine. When it was going for repair.  From what, I have read it tells me that if I but in my harddrive on PS3 it will act like it's unknown and format it to continue.

I just wish there was a software that act the same as PS3 back-up utility so i could just plug in my harddrive using USB connection (I dont know what it's called). But somehow you make your harddrive a external harddrive.

And you could back up the harddrive till another device, so you didn't have to lose everything.

Wish it was simply like this though, you just put in your harddrive and everything will work smoothly again.

(Sorry for my bad English)
