I have an 300gb External HDD on my PC in which I store all my Television shows movies and music.
I would like to hook this up to my PS3 so I can play all my HiDef content and funny tv shows through my television.
My external HDD is currently in NTFS format.
From what I understand Gaming consoles cannot read NTFS drives. They only read FAT based drives.
I backed up all my data on my PC and attempted to format my drive.
Upon reading it looks like the PS3 only currently reads FAT32. Which has a max single file limit of 4gb.
Now my PC is currently running on Windows Vista x64 SP1.
When formatting the drive I only can format to NTFS or exFAT.
I was unfamiliar with exFAT so I tried it out, but my PS3 does not recognize the drive.
So, I am kinda stuck right now.
Is there a way to force FAT32 file system to my drive through windows Vista?
(maybe in command prompt?)
if not.
What is a solution to properly format my HDD to be read by my PS3?
