Hi All,
Apologies if I have put this post under the incorrect forum section. Pretty new to this website. I'm having an issue with my PS3 movie playing feature that I hope someone out there can help with:
I used to play movies and TV shows off a WD 320 GB external hard drive. It was plug and play and only required a usb connection. I recently bought a 500 GB Seagate external hard drive. This hard drive requires a seperate power source (not sure if this is important!). When I plug the new HDD in, for some reason the PS3 does not register it. The power light comes on and the HDD works fine on my laptop. I can't think why the PS3 doesn't pick it up. I'd appreciate any advice that someone can offer a tech newbie like me.
Thanks in advance,
W
