All PS3 Trophies

Yesterday I tried completing Burn 'Em Out on Veteran mode on CoD5… I then received a message in the top right corner saying “You have won no trophy”. I also had put in a new hard drive that day so it got me panicking.

I looked online and it's said that I might have to re-boot the PS3 but I have to copy every saved game, which I did.

Then I tried Burn 'Em Out again. Still says “You did not win a trophy”. I thought that it might just be the game so I tried out LBP. It came up with a pop up saying that the saved data had been copied (which is right) and then it said for me to deleted ALL my saved data if I want to get any new trophies otherwise I can't. 

I've looked online and it says that after putting in a new hard drive your trophies should stay intact because it's all linked to the PSN. I still have all the old ones but I can't get any new ones. I don't want to delete everything and start from scratch with about 13 games.

Can anyone help?

Before u change hard drive u go onto trophies press triangle and select sync with server this should work, it worked when i changed my hard drive.
It may not work after changin it

if not put old hard drive in again and check
 

Wow that sucks man. I changed my hdd awhile back. I've had no problems in obtaining trophies since changing. Did the new drive format properly? That could be the reason, or the old saved data is now corrupted.

Hmm that is wierd. When i swappedout my hdd. I didnt even back up anything. I had all my game saves on  a flash drive already which was the only thing I need to save that couldnt be put back on or redownloaded. When I put the new drive in,format took like 1 min went to tropy tab hit triangle and sync. And they were all there. 

Did you format the new hdd after install?

Is the Hdd new or used?

Possible cousin saved data under your psn which currupted your saves on your system?

This is strange, the trophies are nothing to do with your hard drive, they are on your psn account. I put my 320gb hard drive in and had no problems.

Although, it was a nightmare to change my mates one as sony have changed the mounting of the hard drive, and the procedure for changing!

I have the original backwards compatible version ps3 60 gb. I wan't to upgrade it to something massive…..any hints out there for how i can do that? cheers

buy a new hard drive

just ask for a 2.5' SATA hard drive and you should be fine

i have the original 20gb with a 250gb hard drive and it rocks

i still need to buy a bigger hard drive for my ps3 as well… i've still got 20gb left from my original 60gb version… so it's not like im running out anytime soon.  But the sooner i do it, the better i guess.

To answer your second question, yes the backup utility does backup everything. You can just backup things like saved games, rather than doing everything. You can re-download anything you had got from the store.

In answer to your first question, I just plugged in my external HDD and it worked. Do you have a PC you can format it with?

yup i have a PC..but i dont have a freaking idea on what to do to make it a FAT32..i know how to format it but only to NTFS which is standard for all computers it think..

i tried an external hdd and it was just too hard and complicated

an internal hdd is waaaaay easier and you can probably find them on sale soon, with it being christmas and all..
