Replacing the hard disk Reinstalling the system software If the system software does not start when the system is turned on (such as when the hard disk has been replaced), a screen such as the one shown below is displayed. In this case, you must reinstall the system software using downloaded update data. If you have a game disc or other disc that contains update data, you may be able to use that disc to reinstall the system software. If you insert the disc in the PS3™ system and follow the on-screen instructions, you can verify whether the update data can be used. For additional information on the installation of the system software, refer to the section "Update using a PC" at our website: http://www.us.playstation.com/ps3. The system software included within this product is subject to a limited license from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Refer to http://www.scei.co.jp/ps3-eula for further details. Installing the system software Turn on the PS3™ system, and then insert the storage media containing the update data. Follow the on-screen instructions to reinstall the system software. Downloading system software update data Using a PC with Internet access, download the system software update data from the website shown below. Follow the instructions available on the website to copy the update data from the PC to storage media. http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3 Hints Use the latest version of the update data available on the website. You cannot reinstall the system software using a version that is earlier than the system software version that had previously been used. If the appropriate update data for your system is not available at the website, contact SCEA Consumer Services ( back cover). Notices Do not turn off the system or remove the storage media during the installation.
