(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I have been a member here for a while now but am not as active on the forums as I would like to be, that should hopefully change now after my recent purchase of a second PS3 system.

I am looking for some advice on how to CFW my PS3. I have 2 PS3s

PS3 Slim CECH 2004A - OFW V4.50 (1TB HD)
and
PS3 Superslim CECH 4003A - OFW V4.50 (120GB HD)

I would like to put Rogero on one of my PS3s, I say Rogero because I heard that is the best one to use, if I am wrong then please do correct me!

All I am wanting the CFW for is so I can access my PS3s hard drive from my PC

can anyone give me advice what I will need to do? There is so much information out there and it can be pretty confusing. I do work in IT Tech support so not a total n00b when it comes to computers, but this will be a first for CFW a games console for me. I guess all I need to know is how do I downgrade the OFW and then update to CFW.. I heard the SuperSlim can't have CFW on it.. is that right?

Yup, no way around it. Just practice over and over to get comfortable opening and closing the ps3 up. Practice makes perfect =0)
