PS3 hard drives are locked to the console that they were originally formatted in (by serial number). You can't just move it from system to system like you can a 360 hard drive.

Your grammar and the way you phrased your words heavily confused me but I think that I know your problem.



When your PS3 hard drive is put into another PS3 (20,40,60,80,120GB - it doesn't matter, if it's different) then on the other PS3 it will ask to format your HDD.

So there's no point trying, but since your PS3 has broken, there's small chance of you getting your saves back anyway.
