PS3 does not read NTFS drives. Now if i have a 250 GB portable hard drive (that stores all my movies) how am i required to format it into FAT32 given that FAT32 does cannot be applied as a file system if a partition size is abobe 30GB. Does this mean I need to create eight 30 GB FAT32 partitions - will they read as 8 drives on my PS3? Or is there a tool that creates FAT32 on drives and disks abobe 30 GB in size?

You mixed up something, I guess. Fat32 has a maximum size of 2 TB, so your 250 GB hdd shouldn't be a problem.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Thanks I misunderstood that one - The Fat32 format driver under Win XP does not format with FAT32 if the partition size is greater than 32 GB but other tools can and do

BTW will my PS3 recognize partitions on the drive? say 2 0r 3 partitions on a portable 1TB drive

Try it, would be an interesting question. If it doesn't work just format your drive again and only create one partition.
