i have a 40gb white ps3 i bought a scorpio WD 320gb when i opened my system it says it needs a 2.50 version and it needs to format my new HDD please guys help me out its really frustrating... what should i do
Yes, it needs a 2.5 INCH hard drive (notebook drive). Did you buy a normal sized hard drive or a notebook drive. Regular sized drives don't fit in the PS3.
sounds like the drive might not have made a connection. When you put it in there you need to slide it into place for it to connect. take the drive bay back out and make for certain the drive is connected properly.
but the 40gb slot is different its easier to slot in than the other units you dont have to push it left or right you just have to push it in thats it, and ok yes i bought a 320gb sata 2.5 wd scorpio so it perfectly fits.
I upgraded my HD last week and got the same message. I think it means you need FIRMWARE version 2.5 so what I did was I downloaded that onto a flash drive via my PC and then inserted it into the PS3 and then went ahead with the formatting and had no problems at all after that.
Just make sure you create a folder named PS3 and then another folder within that named UPDATE and save the file there. The website does a pretty good job of illustrating it.
