Formatting External Hard Drive?
You cannot change the format from NTFS to FAT32 without destroying the data on the hard drive. Microsoft provides a way to go the other way (FAT32 to NTFS) without destroying your data, but no way to go back. Backup your data to another drive or computer before continuing. Further, you cannot format your 500Gb hard drive as FAT32 anyway because FAT32 only supports partitions up to 32Gb in size. Instead, I suggest that you delete the partition on your external hard drive and recreate the partitions using Disk Management (right click on Computer and select Manage from the popup menu). Then in the left pane find Disk Management and left click on it. Create a 32 Gb partition and a 468Gb partition. Format the 32Gb partition as FAT32 and format the 468Gb partition as NTFS. You will get two drive letters after formatting, one for each partition. Restore your data back to the external hard drive. Use the FAT32 partition for your Playstation 3, and the NTFS partition for everything you normally
