My practice now is to make a full backup of the internal drive at some intervall and best before doing a filesystem check. There are reports that say by repeating the process of restoring the filessystem they finally got it repaired, but that never worked for me If you have the eid root key, you can probably still salvage the most important data onto your pc and copy it back afterwards. KennercDec 19, I'm sorry to say that, but you have to format the drive to use it again in the PS3. I'm also facing a lot of issues after a unexpected shutdown, total bummer.
HorviDec 19, I guess you'll have to format. What should I do now? Sorry for the long post. The animation goes on on the upper right corner however the HDD led isn't blinking. So I restarted again to safe mode, tried to rebuild database and ever since for at least 30 mins now it's stuck on the preparing screen. I pressed no and the console didn't let me do anything after that. I thought that it must be a bug in the game since the music was going on but the console had no reaction for pressing or holding down the ps button on any controller so what I did was open the browser on my phone, go to webman mod's page and restarted the system from there. PS3 Attempt to rebuild database get stuck on Preparing My son was playing when the game froze.
