back up your GT5 Data to mem stick now, and do it often. Glad you got it sorted lots of time goes into getting all that stuff, real shame to loose it.

Will do Bonus, I can't afford to take such a risk, knowing now my console is vulnerable...

Stig, I had an issue with my console some time back and ended up resetting the whole operating system on it. By doing that you go to a clean version of your original software up to the version last updated.
Now, it's not as bad as it sounds, you can save and get everything back but it is a lengthy process, but this are the alternatives: a. If you have a USB hard disk that your PS3 recognizes you can make a complete backup of your console and reset the OS.
b. you can follow the process below:

1. Backing up all your games progres (you can do that on a regular USB memory, they are not very big)
2. Resetting your software to the default OS
3. Restore your games backups
4. Configure your wifi and other console settings (take note of them before you reset the system)
4. Downloading from the playstation store any games or packs you have bought online(you don't lose them, there is a list you can check from your profile to download them again)
5. For GT5 as well as for any game, a soon as you load the game it will download all updates.

I'm not home so I can't see the console to show you all the menus, but if you want to go quad with this, let me know Incan check.

Hey N64
if you need to back up ur PS3 with HDD DRIVE it NEEDS to BE IN FAT 32 FORMAT
You can spilt (partion the HDD) a HDD DRIVE if you have info on it already..
