Hi people.
I have a 80gb ps3 and a 80gb USB portable hdd ide Hitachi. I want to backup the ps3 to the portable hdd in order to upgrade ps3 hdd to 500gb.
I've formatted the portable hdd to FAT32 to a single 80gb partition using latest swissknife and my pc can recognize it, no problem.
However, when I plug it to my ps3 and switch on, the portable hdd would blink & make a loud clicking noise simultaneously about every 3 seconds. And the ps3 does not see the portable hdd.
I've read on 1st page that it might be due to the usb casing not drawing enough power and need 2 ports to provide sufficient power to the hdd. But I dont want to get a 2 port usb casing (?)just to find out that it might not work either.
Any ideas? Thanks.
