Can someone please walk me thru the process of setting up an external hdd for backing up and running games... I took it out of the box and hooked it up to the ps3, completely skipping the computer.. My ps3 doesn't even see it.. I thought it would atleast see something ... But, not in MultiMAN, file manager, or XMB... Nothing.... Can someone please help me with how i need to get it to work and the ps3 to recognize it

Buy a Seagate.. (WD IS BAD because it has control over what the hard drive does)

Use You must login or register to view this content.

Its a GUI, So theirs not need for CMD Prompt Commands. I recommend once you format it to FAT32 do not plug it ever back into your computer.. Because using windows 7 if you plug it in it will automatically format it.. If you wish to access files on it Use FTP Dev_USB006/ Dev_USB002 / Dev_USB007

I used it and formatted my 500GB Seagate External Hard Drive to FAT32 without a problem.. I hooked it up to my multi USB Connector and Boom it worked.

UPDATE:

LINK was BROKEN. FIXED
