It reads as multiple hard drives because it has multiple partitions. You can just right click one of them in windows and click format and choose fat32.

Your friend is honest and thinks she plays AC2 on a PS3. In reality she is playing AC1 on a PS2.

or try the gparted clonezilla live cd.

my question is that since fat32 breaks your drive into seperate 20GB partitions, to put divx movies on there, i would need the ps3 folder tree in each partition?

i take a usb and put photo, video and game and upload my divx movies into the video folder and they play fine.

would you like the quickie, or the full minute and a half?

if you wanted to use each partition seperatly then i guess you would make a tree on each one, in my case i had 3 ntfs partitions 151.3gb and 2 48.8gb and i only wanted one so i made 1 of them a fat32 and made a tree.
hence i still got 2(51.3gb,48.8gb) ntfs for my pc stuff and 1 fat32(48.8gb) for my ps3.
