(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); OK, on my new PS3 I already have some purchased games/save data/patches that I really cannot be asked to re-download and install, so before I downgrade it, I want to back it all up.

Anyway I have a Ext. HDD with 32gb free space FAT32 (I partitioned the HDD, normally I run movies off it via the PS3 so I know it works). The PS3 says that I have 1202mb of space left and that it needs another 25gb of space to backup?
I checked on my laptop and there is NOTHING on the PS3 partition (32gb or free space) but the PS3 says that there's only 1202mb left?

Any Ideas?

Well, it is already formatted to FAT32 because I usually use that partition to run movies and music through the PS3, but I'll try it anyway and I'll get back to you all!

UPDATE: It worked! For some reason, although my PS3 read it before, it was reading the amount of free space incorrectly! Thanks very much, guys!
