[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1191538, member: 184879"] 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.
