can anyone help me everytime i turn on my ps3 it tells me the hard drive has been corrupted.. then it installs something and resets and it happens again and again... keeps installing and resetting with the same message that its corrupt

everytime i turn it on thats the first screen that pops up

 

Buy a new hard drive, they're VERY easy to swap. One screw!

 

^ are they expensive? is there a way to repair the old one?

 

Buy a laptop hard drive, thats all they use

 

Can the original drive be reformatted in a PC, or can chkdsk fix it?

 

Good question, not sure how Sony has formatted them. There might be a utility out there for it.
