So after downloading and installing v2.41 the other week, I turned my PS3 on the following day to see a message that said my hard drive needed reformatting. I never said yes and simply shut the system off amid a massive panic attack.
When I turned it back on, the message was gone, but so were all of my saved games because I'm a jackass and didn't back them up. Of course, the background that I had downloaded was still in place, which pissed me off because that didn't make any sense to me if the hard drive had been wiped. After a couple of more start-ups the background was gone too.
Now today I was told I needed "the latest version". I wasn't sure any longer what I was currently running as I had not installed any updates since the hard drive failure, so I went to my system information. Anyway, it said in there that I had 19 GB free of 37 GB total. I don't have anything on my PS3 anymore except one 17MB file for MLB 08. So now I am under the impression that all of my saved information is still on the hard drive somewhere, but its just not showing on the PS3. What else would all of those used GB's be?
Any ideas?
