What tool?

For me it doesn't work with the full (80 GB) HDD, maybe you should split the image and decrypt 1-2 GB (multiple of 200 bytes) per time. http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?split

Can you post the example commands in Terminal you used please?

I'm pretty sure that tool is only for decrypting the HD. I already have the decrypted image. I need help mounting it.

Argh this is so effing frustrating. Someone want to volunteer who's done this on Ubuntu over PM to walk me through this. People keep jumping in on this thread confusing the hell out of me.

mkdir /mnt/cdrom/

Did that, seemed to work, then this:

mount: special device /dec_ps3hdd.img does not exist

Wait, then I did this :

mount dec_ps3hdd.img /mnt/cdrom/

(realized that first slash wasn't need)

But then it tells me this:

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

Where is the original dd image, and where is the deciphered one?

wait I need both?! I only have the decrypted one in /media/bob/New/ps3_decrypt_tools/data as shown above

[advocatusdiaboli]

I don’t know if you need them both, I’m just trying to understand what your are doing.

As I have not been through the process myself yet.
