Best Answer

Hard drive defragmentation is not difficult, and there is software available for this task for any operating system. Windows includes as part of the operating system "Disk Defragmenter" (in Accessories/System Tools); there are also free third-party tools available like Auslogics Disk Defrag, MyDefrag, and Defraggler. The Macintosh operating system has basic defragmentation routines which run automatically, but should you wish you can purchase Disc Warrier or iDefrag.

Can I put my old ps3's hard drive into my new slim and backup the data online then switch the hard drives back and use the backed up information on the slim's hard drive?

Your old PS3 software in your harddrive is different and does not match the slim hardware. It might work enough to allow you to load slim software like you would have to do if it were a blank harddrive used for an upgrade. Your problem is not new. From what I understand that you want to get the Data out of a PS3 which I assume is no longer working, try researching at the Playstation Support Canter.
