when i turn on my ps3 , it goes straght to a screen that says " Your file system is corrupted, please format your hard drive" after i do that the meter fills to 100% and then restarts my ps3. Then when it turns back on it goes back to the corrupted message.

I want a solution that doesnt involve sony

You can try this-
"This problem always happen when you switch off your console while it is saving data or reading data from the HDD, so your HDD file system damaged, in order to solve this problem you need an external SATA 2.5 hard disk case, extract your PS3 hard drive and insert it in the SATA 2.5 case, plug your hard dist to a computer, you will find that the whale hard disk is unallocated, so format it with FAT32 or NTFS using your computer, after that return your hard disk to your PS3 console, now, your PS3 console will recognize it, and it will ask you to format it, say YES!!... congratulation your PS3 console is working now

BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA IN THE HARD DISK INCLUDING YOUR SAVES, IMAGES, MOVIES AND ALL YOUR STUFF"

But Im oretty sure if u keep getting the corrputed message after a restore and restart ur hdd is dead. Also, I can prolly giva ya a new hdd cheaper than u can buy a external case.

I may have one I can giv ya cheap....just go back to ur buy/sell thread and ill update it wen I figure out what spare drives I have laying around.
