Hi folks sorry not hacks related but will try keep this short. I had a friend come to me with a hard drive from a PS3 which has broke. Not exactly sure in what way it is broken, however..
there were very important photos, videos etc on this Ps3 which are unreplaceable. won't get it into to much but its pretty devastating for my friend to say the least.
so I've took the drive home, connected it to the PC, ran it through easeus and managed to recover 5 separate .SWF which equate to a total of 12GB so i am going to assume that the data she is after is in those files. Now obviously at this point i can't read the files, and my understanding so far is the PS3 has its own file structure?
i have my own PS3 that i don't use so i figured that i could maybe place these files onto another drive and put it back in my own PS3 and hopefully be able to read these files. but My PC does not recognize the unpartitioned drive, sort of reverting back to the whole file structure nonsense.
that's about as far as i have got so far so thought i would search the forums for an answer to my issue but to no avail, hence why i am posting this. any help would be appreciated in this matter and thanks in advance
