I was having trouble with my ps3 after it got turned off incorrectly and i got the error message every boot, so i formatted the console, but that didn´t work (i installed ps3hen and now all homebrew blackscreens after the error). I then connected the HDD to the pc to check for errors and formatted it, and then put it back on the ps3, but now when i try to turn on the console it beeps once, then the green light turns off completely, forcing me to unplug it in order to try to turn it on again. I´ve tried formatting to fat32, ntfs and leaving the drive unallocated, but nothing seems to work.
UPDATE:
Tried a different HDD and the console detected it and did not turn off, so it must be something wrong with my original hdd, but i cant figure out what it is that prevents it from being detected.
SOLVED:
In case anyone has this problem I fixed it by doing a low level format, with that the console now recognizes the hdd, so i then put a usb with the ps3 update file and everything works fine now.
