I never repartitioned or formatted the PS3 Hard Drive since I got it.

I'd like to add a little to billb's answer. What we're talking about here is repartitioning the master PS3 drive from the GameOS XMB.

It looks like Sony is really paranoid about copies, and stuff like that. It only makes our life worse, even if we do not intend to copy games.
I have Guns Of The Patriots and Trofeo Pirelli, will I loose something that I will have to download again even if I make the back-ups?
