“I got a PlayStation in which I carry number of amazing games and the hard drive on this PS3 stores huge media data. Today, as I connected the hard drive from PS3 to my Windows desktop, the hard drive refused to show the files saved in it. I am able to connect the hard drive successfully, but cannot view any data. I think the hard drive is corrupted due to some logical failure. Can anyone suggest me how to recover corrupted PS3 hard drive data?”
