This has some relevant information. Seems like connecting the hard drive to a PC won't work and removing it and doing anything to it (?) makes the PS4 format it when it's reconnected. I had a PS3 and it had a special debug menu if I held the power button for a long time when powering it on. Does the PS4 have such a thing? If so, does it offer any data backup or recovery options?
