hi guys , im new to this forum , i have a problem , i installed YLD 5 on my ps3 , allocating it 10Gb on the HDD ( total 60GB) . everything ran ok , since i realised it kept asking me some root password i didnt even heard before , so i want to remove it now . I did a full system restore , i stayed 4 hours until 2 am , no result , the YLD was still installed . Also i cant turn on my ps3 from the wireless controlled ? why , why ??

. I pretty f***ed up my ps3 , now i am doing a full format using all Hdd space for ps3 os . please help !

Have you held down the power button until it beeps a second time so that it will boot into the GameOS? The powering on with the controller only works when the last os used was the game os. In linux you can also use the ps3-boot-game-os command which will reboot into the ps3 game os.

Also if you boot into the Other OS after you full format and you see the 2 peguins at the top that does not mean YDL is still installed. That is the boot loader which loads the YDL install. It is put into the onboard system memory not on the HDD whick means it cannot be erased.

thanks guys , i managed to start the ps3 using my gamepad again , i did a full system restore again and a full format using all the space for ps3 . It still shows only 44/55GB are still free , and i have only GTA 4 installed which is only 3GB on the HDD .

The game os usually takes up about 7 gigs
