Just so you know when you change a file system. The drive has to be
formatted in that system. So any files on the drive will be deleted.
The fat32 can be used on big drives but not recommended, because from
32gig past that you can do what is called ghosting the drive.
You can put all the files
I know I shouldn't ask here, but I need to put isos somewhere. I just
got a new external hard drive which is using the ntfs file system,
but I want to convert it to fat-32 once I've put everything on it so

On a serious note though if you need a section of the drive for
Well, the fact is I don't believe the ps3 reads ntfs drives... which
is what I'm wanting to do. If I do that then I don't have to transfer

well the other issue is that fat32 drives can only be 30gb.
you really need to just split the partition.
