Error message when it boots is in the topic : "Cannot start.The correct hard disk was not found."
I have a 40GB old PS3 model, and i was swapping the system drive for a 60GB Corsair SSD Force Series.
- Before HDD swap i did backup to another USB HDD i had lying around.
- After HDD swap
- Insert Corsair from wrapping: This error.
- Make partition on Corsair format as FAT32. This error.
- Make sure partition on Corsair is MBR not GUID. This error.
- Put FW 3.50 on USB stick in PS3\UPDATE. This error.
- Hold power button until two quick beeps to enter diag menu. This error.
What i haven't tried: Putting in another hdd that's not the original (that's coming now,i have a 120 and 320 lying about to test with).
Anyone had similar issues or tips?

I put in an X25MG2 160GB to see that it would detect an SSD. No problem, it asks to format. So i look at the partition table of the X25, and make similar on the Corsair, 100mb (like the reserved for win7 installs), and make another one for rest of drive. Both are formatted as NTFS.
I put it back in the PS3 and it asks to format, which is done in 2 seconds, now it's up and running at the XMB :)
