Hell, I am new here and through looking on other forums I found my way here. I have a question regarding format of this external HD from NTSF to FAT 32..

I bought this HD for the sole purpose to hold 300- gigs of music and over 500 DVD movies to be viewed and played through my PS3.. In order to get the HD to work on a PS3 it needs to be FAT 32. So I found that XP will not format to FAT 32 I downloaded CompuApps Swissknife V3 to format to FAT 32. After a format from NTSF to FAT 32 my computer and PS3 only sees 393Meg..

Does anyone know of a solution using Swissknife V3 that will allow the 1.5 Terabyte to be recognized? Thanks for any help as this is the first time that I have ventured into making a sole HD specifically for the PS3.

My goal is to have each folder a entrance point to either a movie or music file so that my Theater system with be completely remote with no disks involved.
