Invalid system when replacing the hdd

[lcorreia]

Hi,

I replace my 40gb hdd with a samsung 250 gb. After installing the hdd when I turn on the ps3 instead the screen with the option to format the hdd I get a message to plugin the sixaxis remote and press PS.

then I get the message that the ps3 dont recognise the system and that I have to supply the 2.30 version of the firmware to reinstall the system!!!

I have the 2.30 version of the firmware...

anyone with similar problem?

Just bought my PS3 yesterday and installed a new HDD before i started the PS3 for the first time.

You need to download the 2.30 firmware, load it on an USB-Stick under "PS3>UPDATE" and then plug it in.
Now follow the instructions on the screen and have fun.
