Make sure your hard drive is in the FAT32 format. The PS3 will read nothing else.

Hope that helps.

I have a 400g usb hdd formatted in fat32 but my ps3 doesn't recognize it... How comes?

Please anybody I posted on several forums and I still don't have an answer... I heard about some usb adapter for devices unregonized by the ps3 but I cant find anything about price or where to find it.

Hi Guys

firstly if you have a pc, why do you not hook up the HDD to your ciomputer and format it on your pc to fat32, and then the ps3 should recognise it ??!
