I installed a new HDD in my PS3 when I first purchased it a year ago. Recently during 2 of the last 3 firmware updates when it says finishing the install i get a message that says the proper HDD cannot be found install cannot complete and I then have to restart my PS3. However whenever I do this the new update is installed.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is it something to be concerend about with the new firware update that I have to perform today?

The HDD should have nothing to do with the updates other than storeing the update file until it installs to the PS3 cell. The updates work like the Bios flash on a PC and flash updates that's being used in the automotive industry. The file basicly removes all the data and rewrites the latest update to the hardware.

Thats what I thought, so its wierd that its even recogining the different one. Unless this is something that Sony is trying to change people from doing which would be crazy cause its a huge selling point over the X360

It did that once when I installed 2.36, it restarted and said HDD cannot be found. I resetted it, and everything was fine
