Evening all,
I've google'd to my wits end on this one..
I bought a 1TB WD external HDD a few days ago, formatted it to HFS+ using MacDrive [so it would accept files over 4gb].
All works fine on the PC, laptop and even the XBOX [other than the XBOX only playing WMV files.. not a fault of the drive though].
However when I plug it into any USB port on the PS3, which is the main reason I bought it, the light on the drive flashes for around 5 seconds and the activity swirly circle [top right of screen] on the PS3 "dashboard" twirls around, then... nothing.
No "USB Device" no "Memory Stick", nada, nothing, zilch...
I've updated the PS3 to the latest software, created various folder combinations on the drive ["Video, Picture, Game, etc etc", "PS3"] but the simple fact is it is not even seeing a device.
From what i've read even if the folder structure is incorrect, or the formatting is incorrect, you will still get a "Memory stick" or "USB Device" option appear, although nothing will happen when you click it.
Suggestions/help please?
Otherwise I'll need some help converting my mkv files to play on the xbox...
Thank you and have a good Saturday
