So to go along with GT5 Prologue, i decided i was going to replace the 40GB drive in my PS3.
So ipicked up a new 160GB Fujitsu drive, the new drive is in the same model series as the 40GB just bigger.
So after reading the instructions on how to swap drives i get everything ready, i dl the 2.30 update just incase and put it on a usb drive, plus i have the disk that came with the PS3 ready at hand, i swap out the old hd for the new hd reconnect everything turn the power on, turn on my PS3 without the usb drive plugged in to my PS3, the system asks me to format the new drive so i do, it restarts and BAM nothing has changed my account, user info and settings were all the same, the only thing i wasn't happy about was that it is only seeing 149GB of the new drive, with GT5 installed and a couple race replays saved its says i have 125 of 149GB
i know the firware and what not is all hardware related and embeded but doesn't the core os if thats what its called need to be reinstalled?
i am guessing not because everything is working fine, GT5 installed and plays perfect.
i just would have thought that, i would have had to reinstall something, so is this normal or did something really flukie happen?
