Is it still possible to swap an hdd on firmware v3.56? I have been trying but been unable to do so. I use this cause my 40gb drive is filled and now I can not use my other drive with current saves on it. I read online that this seems a common issue with 3.56 I was curious what you were doing to fix the issue and when will it be fixed as I would like to use my game saves?

I seriously doubt that, as this bug has happened on a previous firmware update! :mudkip:
