    get norton partition magic(torrent if you wanna just get it free), hook up your external hdd, pick the hdd on the norton partitionmagic startup, format and then assign it as a fat32 HDD. hope this helps.

  • Sony making the PS3 ...

    Sony making the PS3 customizable is nice, it means you don't have to buy a Sony hardrive to upgrade, meaning you can get this 250GB hardrive for around $90, whereas for the Xbox 360 you'll pay $150 for a hardrive with half the capacity (120GB).
