You can change it so that there is a 1TB partition at the front of the drive and a 2TB partition at the end of the drive. Everything on the 2TB partition should then be usable with the PS3.

Are the first 2 partitions formatted under FAT32 or NTFS?
For your PS3 to detect them they have to be FAT32.

ok apparently ps3s can only read one partition from an external hdd.

I also believe the max capacity a ps3 can read from is 2tb, if you need more oyu will need a 2nd hdd, not a 2nd partition.

I know it sucks, but hey It Only Does Everything! Except being able to detect more than 1 partition and one more than 2tb in size.
