I have my old ps3 same make and model as my new rebug ps3.only problem is my old ps3 crashed luckily my hard drive was not in at the moment of crashing. there is another ps3 it works but same amount of memory as new so kinda pointless lol but I'm running out of space on my new and I want to know if i can swap my hard drives with the hdd i got laying around and my new hardrive by using ftp to copy all files onto external usb hard drive then insert old hdd into new ps3 and format it or juss copy and combine my old with new files hard drives

very nice but i have already formatted 2nd drive and install firmaware onto it now i have 2 internal hdd which now I'm using mulitman to copy the game folder into my external hard drive then i wll swap my internal hdd and connect my external again and copy files again if it works i will be sure to let yall know as i sit here i understand that i should've attempt my trophy file instead of game file ima be here awhile

okay so I managed to get the files over but I'm guessing everything pertaining to psn cannot be used on my new formatted hdd its on my hard drive taking up space I think I should delete it unless theres a way please reply

Did you get the entire hdd copied? The dlc and activation files would have been within the old hdd.

Also, I'm just guessing, but maybe you need to sign in and activate the account..

okay I will try that as soon as I'm able to sign in it keeps timing out on me that could be the problem idk though.. but I am really lost okay I have 3 hard drives the external holds my games i did not change any files or touch my external game drive but when i swap to my new hard drive the one i just formatted it loads up BLUS01807 right all good and normal but when i installed it like u have to do for every new hard drive it saves install and content files as BLUS31156 it still plays it which i don't know how but it does so i swapped back 2 my old hard drive the one i was using and i was able to delete and reinstall BLUS 01807 install and content packages i am completely lost ive narrowed it down to my new hard drive being wrong lol not much ik

id just copy the contense by FTP

did that 2 but file cancelled due to copy protected

well I made fresh copy of BLUS01807 apparently my old was corrupting still claims status error Dg not sure what that is its always filed on my external hard drive never paid attention to it but it had gotten worst now I will see if replacing BLUS01807 will work hope for the best
