Got a ps3 off a friend said his hard drive had died could i install a new one for him, i'm more a 360 user but simples i thought, think again...


It's a slim ps3, i format the drive to fat 32 in windows, create a PS3/UPDATE folder and copy over the PS3UPDAT.PUP file, insert it back in the ps3 and... nothing keeps saying insert a drive with update over 4.60 on it, (i'm using update 4.75), tried 2 drives same problem, it still says the same when i insert the drives in my ps3 so it must be the hard drives at fault, or something i'm doing wrong.

Any idea what i'm doing wrong?
