I reformated my hard drive 80 gb ps3 but it says tht im missing 10 gb of space i know the ps3 80gb only gives you 74 but after reformating it say only 64 i dnt undrstand wuts going on please help i even tryed look in the hdd0 to see if there was any hidden files but i still couldnt find anything

Check your XMB maybe some how you have videos or pictures on your HDD, or it could be installed game data. I dont know how this could happen if you formated it, but check just in case.

thx for the help but i found the solution i updated the ps3 to 3.60 ofw i retrieved the space it worked for some reason. weird but now theres another issue i cant sign on to psn i get error code 80710092 wtf i hope its still not suck in kmeaw mode with spoof and intergrated into it crap does anyone have a general idea of wut this could be

Did you go back to 3.55 OFW before you updated?
