Hi, firstly it took me over an hour to run this update . Give your ps3 the time it needs. Turning off your ps3 when updating to your hard drive will corrupt it .
So again a new update gives the economy a boost by breaking everything. Yay!
First some info . Can you get to the xmb? What messages are you getting on your ps3 , do you have access to a pc? The more details you give the quicker it will be for everyone to help you .
First thing I'd do at this point would be to back up everything (game saves / music / videos etc) to a flash pen or external (usb)hard drive . (System settings>Backup utility). ....
If you can get to the Xmb menu , you could try formatting your internal hard disk drive through ( system settings>format utility) but this will erase most of your data. ( online data such as your level on COD or trophies etc cannot be deleted).
If you can't get on to the xmb , then you need to go to the safe mode menu . But a couple of options on there will completely erase everything and ask for an update ( you may need a pc ) so be careful before " restoring to default "
Good luck backing up . Post back with lots of info . Smile .
(Worst case scenario , buy a new hdd and lose data) but we can try lots of things first .
Back up ! Back up ! Back up !
