    If you reinstall your old HDD, your PS3 will recognize it because it was already formatted to that specific PS3. There is no need to do this though. What you need do is a full system back up to an external HDD or a large USB stick (one that has more GB storage than is currently being used by your PS3) and then restore that data to your new HDD. All your data will restore, even copy-protected saves.
