PlayStation®3 Support

Alright, so I just ordered a new hard drive for my PS3, but I just want to know a simple answer on a simple question. Once I have the Hard drive formatted to FAT32 and the OS installed on the new harddrive, can I still use the old one on the PS3 as well, as i don't plan on using the old one for anyhting else besides collecting dust? I don't plan on transferring any of my data to my new hard drive as i hardly play my older games, but if i wanted to play an old game just for the hell of it, could i just swap the old one with the new one temporarily just so i can play the old game for a little? Then when I'm done, just go back to the new hard drive? I don't see why I can't do that, as it is still the same, exact PS3 console. But I'm just curious, as I may be wrong haha! I think it would be quite silly though if i wouldn't be able to use the old one on the PS3 still. If anyone needs meto try to clarify things, just ask.

Yes as long as you're using the same console the HDD came from you can do that. The HDD only reformats if you put it in a different system.

Thank You! That's what i figured, I just wasn't 100% positive and wanted to be reassured haha!
