IS your PS3 still not reading disks?
I experienced the same problem after installing The Eye of Judgment. While it was saving, the progress bar froze and I exited the game. When I got back to the XMB I noticed that the EOJ Disc wasn't showing up. Put in some onther games and DVDs and they didn't show up either. It was as if the Bluray wasn't reading the discs.
I did a system restore and swapped the original hard drive back in to no avail. I rebooted the system a couple of times and that didn't help either. At this point the Sony rep I was talking with said the words I didn't want to hear "We'll be sending you a shipping box". 10 minutes after getting off the phone it started reading disks again and so far so good.
What's the difference of the Quick System Restore & the Full System Restore?madskillz8
Full restore will delete all your files on hard drive+takes several hours to complete.Your PS3 will go back to its original state except that the firmware version remains the same as whatever you've last installed.
A Sony rep told me this evening that a system restore would roll back the firmware version... was he mistaken? I need some way to re-apply yesterday's update. My system hasn't read a disc since I finished the firmware install.
I tried quick system restore and FOR ME, I do feel like there's a bit of slowness so I did a full restore w/ a 250gb hard drive & took like 16 hrs and it was ok.
It has to do with the formating of the hard drive. The quick version does a quick format (using data recovery tools it may be possible to recover data from the hard drive), while the full version 0s out the data making it next to impossible for the data to be recovered.
i have a *** 60 gb ps3 that am planning to give to a friend as a gift since he is moving away for college. I kinda used it before like few saves here and there. I want to delete everything from the hard drive so wwhich restore should i use? quick or long one?
Well shucks. Alright then... anyone out there in teh internets have any suggestions? I applied the new firmware yesterday, and when the system booted back up, it was totally boned. In fact, I haven't even been able to get the system restore to initiate yet. It crashes when I start the process.
Am I going to have to ship it back to Sony, miss the GTA lauch, and then kill myself and anyone in my immediate vicinity because I'm not man enough to cope with the loss?
ok so this my problem i have mgo(metal gear solid online) and i made more than one account now i cant play so im thinking about restore my whole system whick will take bout 4 hours will this solve my mgo problem? some plaes help me
