Upgraded my PS4 HDD

[peji911]

I upgraded my HDD and forgot to backup PES 2016 (Team crests, kits, etc). Is there a way to extract the saved info from the originally HDD on the PC or do I have to install that HDD again?

Anyone have any idea?

Once you remove the hdd from the ps4 you cannot access the data. Your PC wont recognize it as an external harddrive. You gonna have to format it if you wanna use it as an external hdd. Just plug back in the original hdd and back it up.

If I am not mistaken, once you put a new hdd in a PS4, then the old one becomes obsolete for the PS4 data, so he will not be able to backup from the original.

Don't you have a backup in the cloud (if you are ps plus member) ???

Wait...What?

Nope, you are incorrect!

There are several ways to back up your games on the PS4 and his option are as follows:-
1) Reinstall the drive that was removed and use the "Backup Restore" option from the Settings of the PS4.
2) Insert the drive in an external enclosure, connect it to any PC and retrieve the system files for game saves.
3)Slave the drive using a "SATA and IDE Hard Drive Adapter to USB 2.0/3.0 works with 2.5" 3.5" and 5.25" Hard Drives and Optical Drives....and retrieve the data for the game saves.

Copy the data to the new drive.


Easy!
