How to reformat a hard disk?

How do you reformat a hard drive/disk on ps3 slim?

  • my brother just got the ps3 slim (he had the older verison)and a message came up saying "the system software cannot be run correctly. press the PS button to try to restart the system. if the system cannot be restarted, the system partition of the hard disk must be reformatted and you must reinstall the system software. connect storage media that contains update data of version 3.15 or later, and then press the START and SELECT buttons at the same time. for information on how to obtain update data, refer to the SCE Web site for your region" he's gettin his computer fix and he had the steps on how to do it on his computer so he forgot how to do it. can you let me know how i reformat a hard drive/disk please?

  • Answer:

    If you can access the PS3's XMB, it can be done from there. Go to settiings, system settings, and format PS3. If not, connect the HD to a Computer and manually format
