Well, this is a Japanese PS3 which is not easily serviceable in the US. Your suggestion I had tried already, it seems like if you change hard drives, the PS3 (hypervisor) wants to reformat it right away, no matter what.

Last night, I even tried swapping out the blue-ray drive. Even that didn't work. The blue-ray drive responds, but is unable to mount any disks.
