Laptop HDD to my PS3 Slim?

Yes, you can use that hard drive in your PS3, however, when you put the drive in, it will be formatted, and any information already on the drive will be lost.

You may also have to do the infamous system update on a usb drive trick.

On a separate computer, download the system update to a USB Drive setup to read <Drive Letter>:\PS3\UPDATE

Now, reseat the hard drive and place the USB drive in one of the USB slots on your PS3. Plug your controller, attached to the USB cord to another slot in your PS3.

Start the system.

press START and SELECT. If you placed the Update file correctly, you will get a prompt to format the drive.

Remember, the update file Must be in the UPDATE folder, which is a subfolder of PS3, which is on the Root of the USB Drive.

After that, your drive should format and be ready to go. I would suggest doing a full format of the hard drive, but know that it may take up to a full day to do so.
