First make sure you only have the NTFS drive connected, and nothing else to the ps3.

Go to the first icon on the multiman XMB (Home I think it is), there an option says "Switch to NTFS/PFS mode" or something like that, activate it. A progress bar will appear that says it's identifying NTFS drives, then, go to mMOS (Multiman File manager), double click on PS3 Root, there should be 2 extra folders called /pvd_usb000 and /pvd_usb001, one of these 2 is supposed to be your NTFS drive.

Should it still not appear, try restarting multiman (Start+Select, in this order, or even go to PS3 XMB and then reenter Multiman) and follow the procedure again.

If none of these work, maybe having a drive with both FAT32 and NTFS partition at the same time doesn't work, this much, escapes my knowledge.

Good luck

Only useful reply so far.

I vouch for what Crones said. The new multiman should be able to detect an NTFS partition, as outlined in the changelog. I'm currently using an NTFS harddrive, with a FAT32 partition, and multiman has no issues detecting the fat32 section. If I want the NTFS partition detected, I'd follow Crones' instructions : Switch to NTFS/PFS mode -> mMos filemanager -> /pvd_usb000 and /pvd_usb001

Same problem here...

Got a couple of NTFS formated drives and *none of them* is accessible with Multiman. No matter if the drive contains one or two partitions...

Though PVD_USB000 and PVD_USB001 appear after switching to the NTFS driver, clicking on them results in an eternal loop.

connect the eHDD to the PC and format it again to NTFS
or better use FAT32 (you may need fat32formatter since windows is only able to format devices with 32-gb space to fat32)

Thanks for the reply, but reformating won't help... Already did that.

The purpose of that NTFS HDD was to playback huge MKVs with much more than 4 GB via Showtime on the PS3, so NTFS is essential (...and yes, the internal 60 GB drive is already full)
