After upgrading a PS3 hard drive, can I put the old one back in? [duplicate]

Let's say I had a 60GB Playstation 3, and I bought a new 500GB hard drive to replace the old one. I take the 60GB hard drive out of the machine, put the 500GB one in, format it, and get started and..
"Oops! I forgot to back something up from the old hard drive!"

Can I take the 500GB hard drive back out and put the 60GB drive back in (remember, this is the same console; not a new one), and will it still recognize the old drive properly so I can perform a backup?


Solution 1:

You will have no problems, don't worry. Just put it back in and copy the data, like save games and songs, to another pen drive or something and then vice versa.
