I would like it to answer these questions. "Which hardrive to I buy?" "How do I change FAT32..?" ect.. I saw a bit on few posts but I'm kinda a noob at this (+Rep) for help,

You must login or register to view this content. It doesn't matter what size you get but you need to partition it correctly to use the most of it. If you plug it into your pc you can format it to FAT32

Buy a 500gb external (western digital)
It HAS to be FAT32
If you have windows 7, you should be able to format it fine

I have a CECHE01 80 gig. Can someone link me to a FAT32 compatible external (like a newegg or something). Also, I have windows 7.

Hey Mate,

So any external can be formatted to FAT32. Buy ANY external hard drive, take it home format it to FAT32 and you are done.

Generally, I have found externals are formatted to NTFS by default.

With Windows 7 I was unable to format to FAT32 only exfat which is something else so find a standalone freeware formatter like the one in the above posts and you will be fine bro. There are heaps if you google it. I used something called swisknife but it did not work on Windows 7 so I did it in Windows XP. I am certain there are heaps that work on Windows 7 though.
