PS3 Does not recognize external hard drive?

Why doesn't my ps3 recognize my external hard drive when i plug it in?

  • Answer:

    If your PS3 does not recogniz your external hard drive, it has most likely not been formatted properly. Most hard drives are formatted using the NTFS format system - the PS3 only regcognizes FAT32-formatted drives. You may need to reformat the drive.
