Greetings everyone. Last month, my PS3 froze while playing a game (this game is prone to freezing). So I powered it down by pressing the power button, but it always goes into recovery mode. No problem, until that day- it got stuck at 43%. 2 days later, I gave up and powered it off again. This time, it said the HDD had become corrupted and a format was required.
I tried all but the reformat option in safe mode; nothing worked. I then accidently did chose option five, and now all my data is seemingly gone, but I know it's there still because that's how a format works. At least in PC HDDs.
I've done extensive research on if it is possible, and if so, feasible, to retrieve my game save files. If I can get pictures back, great, but all I really care about is my game save files.
I found the thread that has all the links for recovering files from PS3 HDD and the PS3 HDD reader by 3141card.
I'm not sure how to proceed, and would like anyone's assistance and knowledge in the matter. Thank you for your time.
