I have a WD Scorpio Black 320GB ATA that was from my old laptop this hard drive was stamped from July 14 2009 so its not like its too damn old.

Anyways it seemed to format correctly and it seemed to accept/transfer files smoothly but no matter what I do my PS3 will not show it when plugged in with a USB adapter and I know the adapter is working fine.

It was originally formatted to NTFS which PS3's cannot read and I read that it can only accept FAT32. The format was successful so I am confused as fuck.

Is there a trick needed to get external hard drives to function on PS3? it won't even read on the xBox 360 in the living room but if I use the USB to it on my laptop bam it reads instantly.

EDIT: Same issue with a spare Toshiba HDD2D62 120GB
