i had a 60 gb version but it had the yellow light of death and i bought the 40gb

i would like to know if i could replace my 40gb hdd for the 60 just for a while so i could back up my 60 hdd, so that i wouldn't lose all my saves. does abyone knows if i could do that?? solidsnake798

Unfortunately, I heard as soon as you put in a new HDD, the PS3 asks you to format it first. There might another way, but putting the HDD in your new PS3 might not work:(

it first happend to me while i was playing mgo, first it turned down and the red light started flashing, and then when i turned it on the yellow light problem happened

The yellow light means that the HDD is not connected properly:? You probably could have fixed it without buying a new one.StrmRidr

that's not true, i disconected it and re conected it. acording to my technititian (apologise my for my english i live in uruguay) it was a problem with the "integrado" thet's how you said that in spanish i don't know how to say it in english

I think you need to back up the info first on a computer, or if you have enough space,. transfer stuff from the 60 to the 40, then insert the 60 and format it, then copying back to the 60? If that makes sensePOJO_MOFO

i don't know how to back it up, i don't want the 60gb hdd. i just want my saves
