QUOTE(hxcpride @ Aug 20 2008, 02:24 PM) if your HDD undetectable you need to reformat with disk management. create partition. normal format is NTFS, you need to reformat it into FAT32, ( apparently no larger then 32gb) once its reformatted to FAT32 , ps3 will read your external HDD thats what i did for mine for back up saves files in ps3. fren, u can only use DM if ur pc detects your hdd, but in my case, even after pluggin it to the pc, still like no usb device attached. |

Actually your windows XP will not detect the ps3 HDD because it in a Sony proprietary format. Windows XP only reads NTFS and FAT32. To format it you will need to use some Hard Disk management software like Norton Partition Magic or Acronis Disk Director.

That is correct and that is why you need a3rd party software like partition magic to see other disk management utilities. I had the same problem untill i used partition magic and then reformatted it.

I had the same problem untill i used partition magic and then reformatted it. hmm. but i can detect my ps3 40g hdd on my laptop (windows xp) as an unknown usb device. no problems formatting it to FAT32 using disk management. didn't use any 3rd party software  |

For some reason my pc couldnt detect it until I used partition magic...weird  Or maybe it was something with the enclosure coz I was fiddling with that also... This post has been edited by aphrael: Aug 20 2008, 05:43 PM |

QUOTE(neoardi @ Aug 19 2008, 11:00 AM) You're in luck mate, i had the same problem before and this method works flawlessly:  For Windows 2000 and XP:Right click on My Computer.
Choose Manage (This will open the Computer Management window).
Go to the Storage category and select Disk Management
Right click the new drive (usually listed as Hard Disk 1) and "initialize"
You now have the option to partition and format the drive.
The default settings of Primary Partition and NTFS- Quick Format are recommended for most users.
But can use Fat32 to use it with PS3Please tell me the result...cheers  thanks neoardi for tip, had the same problem.. now no more  |

in my first 1 week owning a ps3, I end up with about 2gb left.
upgrading is nessescary for those who always download contents and plan to not delete it for a long period of time.
