Hi
I want to format a 250 gb ( maybe even one of my bigger ones )
to fat 32 , so I can plug them into my ps3 and play my
HD movies ,and other such tasks
As you all know , and I learned the hard way ps3 only undertands
fat32 , so your limited to the fle size you can move on fat32
which again stalls me in my task of huge files
But I heard someone mention a program that will format fat32 without
these file size lmits ,so I am in search of it
Can anyone please advise m further on this matter , and
fom reading hat I want to do , once I have this large HD
in fat32 ,ill my ps3 recognize it ( its usb yes ) and
allow me to play my media from it , the media that ps3 upports
like M2TS , etc ?
Thank you

Thanks
Its kinda working
i kept trying the fat32 program , and kept getting
told it could nr proceed as the drive was in use
and it wasnt , so i tried swiss knife , it said it was
completed , but it wasnt , the drive wasnt formatted and all
data was still there on this 250 gb usb drive , so i kept
trying , then i re tried the fat32 program and it formatted
in fat32
So now my ps3 does indeed see the drive and plays its contents
Only problem is when i go to move Ie a 8 GB file im told
theres not enough free space and i need to free some space
But there is still over 221 gb of free space
Yipes , how can i get around this problem ?
Cheers
