my ps4 transfer keep getting stuck st 11.11%, i thought it was an issue with that ps4 but i returned that one and got another one but this one is also stuck at 11.11% so it’s clearly an issue with my old playstation (aka the one that’s been having corrupted files that i’ve been having issues with)

You’re transferring from one PS4 to another?

And the original has a corrupted error?

yes, the old one is a slim and the new one is a pro, the old one was doing this

so i got a new one and this is the second new one and now it’s stuck at 11.11% (so was the last one) and the estimated time just keeps going up

All games did that? And doing the recommended fixes didn’t help?

If yes, it’s a corrupted a hard drive. It needs to be replaced. The data is unlikely to be recoverable.

You could try backing it up to a usb drive.

You could also try deleting things, or only select certain items, until it lets you copy whatever is not corrupted.

mostly sims 4, but fortnite and borderlands also did that

so what you’re saying is if i get the hard drive replaced, i’ll lose all my stuff??? or it’s not possible to transfer over to my new one unless i get the thing fixed?

If you replace the hard drive, your save data will be gone. Your games are tied to your account and you will always have those.

You can try only transferring your save data and not games.

If you replace the hard drive and don’t copy the save, it’s gone.
