Hey guys. My friends PS3 went bust. He had a 320GB WD in it and it had all his saves on it etc. The hard drive itself is fine. Just the PS3 hardware that is busted.
He says and other sources say that when the HD is put into another PS3 it gets automatically formatted. No good obviously as he wants to somehow extract his save games from the hard drive.
I proposed that he bought say an IcyBox and installed the hard drive and hooked it up to his PC. My question then is, if it's being recognised by Windows, can he then just say copy/paste save games from it? Or are they encrypted on the hard drive and just not accessible?
