Console cannot start

When I switch on my PS3, the message says ' cannot start. Appropriate system storage was not found '. How do I fix this??

 

Thanks

Thanks for the reply! I tried taking the hard drive out and putting back in, but no luck :smileysad:

Hmm. Seems like the PS3 is not recognising the inserted hard drive, have you tried a different one?

Re: Turning it on

On the front of the playstation (slim) there is a panel underneath the disc drive. To remove it you need to unscrew the blue screw under the littlle square panel on the underside of the playstation. Take the hard drive out and then reinsert. I tried it myself earlier, but it still didn't fix the problem. Hope you get it working
