What would be the best way to format a 320GB disk in FAT32 without loosing space? I guess with partitioning, only thing is that I don't know if the PS3 recognizes all the partitions. I want to put my games on it, as it's still not possible to use PS3's internal disk, I have a 320GB one.
I don't have a spare external disk anymore, and anyway, all of the disks will be limited when using FAT32.
I formatted now with a tool called HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool, that gave me now already 128GB in FAT32. Now trying with the command line format x: /q /fs:fat32, will see if I get fully 320GB after that.
EDIT: Worked :thumbs:
I was going to suggest a program called FAT32FormatterEN, but you got yours to work.
So, can you only use FAT32 formatted external HDDs with the PS3? No support for NTFS or any linux file system?

I downloaded a program called swissknife. It allows for partitioning your drive with fat32 or ntfs That is what I used to prep a 320 gig drive that I use to copy photos to my PS3 as well as transfer files to my A2000.
