| 1401830 | 2015-06-02 04:03:00 | flaty has 120GB slim ps3 ordered 1TB drive. i put both in my computer and used HDCLONE to make a bit-for-bit clone of the source to the target. popped 1TB into ps3 and she boots fine rummage round in settings and it comes up with 11GB free of 931GB how am i to remedy this teething problem? |

| 1401831 | 2015-06-02 04:30:00 | or is it 11G of 120G free ? Did the clone just make a 120G partition on the new drive ? Some cloning software/options recreates the original partition size. |

| 1401832 | 2015-06-02 04:40:00 | its 11GB free of 931GB , as i meticulously typed above. | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 1401833 | 2015-06-02 05:05:00 | also, i ticked the box in HDCLONE specifying "automatically adjust" | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 1401834 | 2015-06-02 10:39:00 | Its not simple to clone content from ps3 to a new drive, it usually has to be formatted by the ps3. The free space sounds like it could be the 12GB builtin flash drive. You may need to look at alternative ways to back up your data and restore it to the 1TB drive which needs to be formatted. You can make use of USB sticks, maybe hard drives and the built-in flash drive. Cheers, KK |
