the latest firmware, 3.56, has two versions. they are both the same version number.
the first version prevents you from upgrading your drive. it will give a "the data is corrupt" 800f225 error.
Sony released a silent update for this, but you can only get it by actually booting into your PS3 and downloading it through PSN. the website is not up to date.
so a word of warning: do not format your original drive! this is an error on Sony's part, being too interested in thwarting custom firmware/pirates, rather than keeping their OFW operational.
if you format your original drive, you may brick your console.
