Did you remove the 320GB before sending it back? If so, NO, there is nothing, and I MEAN NOTHING you can do to get it back. DO NOT think there is, because THERE IS NOT.

When a drive is formatted in the PS3, then it is for that PS3 only, basically, keyed/encrypted for that unit; and would have to be reformatted if placed in another machine. If you remove a drive, and use another one, the drive you removed is no longer valid, there is a shift in the encryption, so it is different.

IF you removed the drive, and sent it back EMPTY? Well, they have to put a drive in to test the functionality, thus voiding your drive.

This is common knowledge, and is posted all over this site, and net.

There is a BACKUP feature at the system option in XMB, you should have done it.
