i never dont that bit threw url i did it threw usb stick . put create_hdd_region.sh and put it on to root of stick ,

and go to shell and put cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1

then sh create_hdd_region.sh

i know u had problem with it before but it should work with gitbrew tools
u will know its done cos the shell input where u write a command . it dont take long only a few sec

What do u mean by downloadthe script? i cant connect to thenet since putting gitbrews other os on, my hd is now split, but its the shell command stuff tht doesnt work, i have every file needed on ext hd plugged into ports, ive tried all ports

I'm sorry ps3hax condensed the link I gave you it should appear like this " http://gitbrew. org/~glevand/ps3/scripts/create_hdd_region.sh " NOT this http://gitbrew.org/~glevand/ps3/scri..._hdd_region.sh
so do this again

1. cd /tmp
2. wget http://gitbrew. org/~glevand/ps3/scripts/create_hdd_region.sh
3. chmod a+x create_hdd_region.sh
4. ./create_hdd_region.sh

It should work if your internet is ok I just tested the link so it is fine.
By the way the squiggle line is located on the key directly left of the number 1 on the keyboard but you have to press shift and then press it.

He's saying he already has create_hdd_region.sh on his external drive. I'm not sure if that makes a difference but wookie you should try saving create_hdd_region.sh to a usb stick instead of your external hdd and then follow carl's suggestion if you have problems downloading the file from the shell.

So...

1. Put create_hdd_region.sh on a usb stick
2. cd /tmp/petitboot/mnt/sda1
3. chmod a+x create_hdd_region.sh
4. sh create_hdd_region.sh

P.S. if you download the file from www.tinyurl.com/createhdd it saves as createhdd not create_hdd_region.sh so you would have to chmod 755 createhdd otherwise it will not work because create_hdd_region.sh does not exist.

Finally got, nearly there last night! lol. I was up till half 3 on irc chat. Cpl off guys helped me for hours. It was the file path to where tht file was tht on ext usb tht was a headache, took 2-3 hours to find it lol. Got latest red ribbon on external hd now, worked and showed on ps3. But tried to format internal hd through RR, as the guy said runing it that was was the best way, but install failed right at the end off the format, something to do with read only the guy on irc said. Cld be the ps3 or the external hd

[Rage_of_Inferno]

So what was the path to your external? I tried myself to cd into the usb directory to see if I could help without any luck I'm sure your info can help others who have had the same problem. I'm still wondering why you failed to download the script. It would have been so much easier. Good luck on getting red ribbon installed.

[wookieboy76]

it kept timing out in petitboot, tried all the different addresses and got the same result, didnt bother trying your comment 4 hours ago as id already got it installed. I cant remember the file path now, it was so complicated as im new to all this. Il speak to the guy on irc from portugal later, im sure he will remember. Its just gettin it to format the partition thats a pain now through Red Ribbon ( RR folders on external partition extracted from iso), it failed . Also before i done a full format off int ps3HD the other night, i did a data transfer. Can i put this back on now?, its 4gb worth. And can i put Rebug OtherOS 3.55.2 on top off gitbrews 3.55 (++ 22gb) pup now,for the trophy error and put latest rebug patch ?

One more thing i had 2 user names on ps3, then used data transfer utility and used MM and filezilla to back my game saves up 00001, 00010 each one for each user on ps3. Now i have only one new created user,how do i get these files back on ps3?

You said after you installed gitbrews firmware you lost the ability to fetch files from the internet. What was the last firmware that allowed you to do this? Fix your ability to use the wget command and everything should be really easy. Then you won't have to use your external. That makes it more complicated than it has to be for a new user.
