PS3 HDD Update problems-please help

Hi, i recently bought a western digital 320 Gb HD in order to upgrade my 40gb ps3. I have replaced it but now when i ran the system a message stated that i had to 'insert storage media that contains update of version 2.60 or later, and then press the start and select buttons at the same time'. What do i have to do? i cant find the 2.60 update online anywhere.

thanks

This should list the latest versions (up to 2.60):
Official PlayStation website: System Software

Also, check in here for more info: HDD upgrade - what you need to know.
It should cover your questions for now.

v1.2 that you mention is the version of the agreement NOT the firmware you are downloading.
