thanks for the help, i will just transfer the data from the memory stick to a pen drive.

I had the orginal 60gb PS3, I upgraded the Hdd to a 320gb, so i will be doing the same to the slim, but as my 60gb ps3 just broke. I wasnt able to back up all the data on the 320gb Hdd, will i lose all the data when reformating on the ps3 slim?

I backed up the 60gb data on a memory stick is there anyway to get that on the slim as it doesnt use flash drives?
