ok I am trying to back up my ps3 to transfer to the new one. When I plug in the usb it says an unknown usb device is attached. The external is in NTFS does it need to be fat 32?

Correct, just format it to FAT32 and the PS3 should see it with no problems.

I saw that coming from a mile away.. Just from reading the Thread title I knew someone would make a nails/screw reference.

[Suzook]

screws were no problem as long as you attack them at the right angle and use a jewelers set

 

[Aletuner]

Good deal! Let us know how it turns out. I just might swap mine out soon for a larger drive!

^LOL

I can't wait to upgrade my baby tonight. My 320 gig just came yesterday from ebay and it only cost $72 shipped!

 

[ugabuga]

Just upgraded my 40 gig to 320, pretty painless.

 

[MechaPoitier]

For those of you who have replaced your hard drives....


Do you have an recommendations as far as what screw drivers to use? I think I remember reading somewhere that a certain type/size of screw driver worked best for removing the screws without stripping them but I can't remember where I saw it.


If you have any suggestions, please let me know....

 

[beach scrub]

I used a phillips head tip from my craftsman cordless drill bit and screw driver set. I had no problems with the screws on the PS3 HDD.

Do I really need to step in here?!?!?!!? LOL!


If you do happen to run into Vincent, please make sure you're in a very heavy automobile and then back up and do it about 30 more times.


For those of you swapping hard drives, please make sure your nails come out with the correct drill bit and don't strip them like the computer technician/financial analyst/real estate broker/english language mutilator...

Plus it into your PC and then under utilities, you can choose to format the drive. Choose FAT32 and you're good to go.
