Hi,

I did format a HDD via Debug settings , when formating was complete my HDD wasnt showing on the XMB!

If I pluged it back into my pc and lunched ps3gen I could see the 4 partions it's all good but I want to dedicate a certain space as fat23 to install pkgs from the same HDD. Is there a way?

Thanks in advanced

you can't.. the entire disk is reserved for ps3gen

Are u sure? Cuz I've read through comments that u can set partitions after formatting from Debug!!

Will see what the others have to say

It's really frustrating

you need to stay in the thread you saw this infomation.
ask in the thread quoting whoever said it is possible and discuss it there.

opening a new thread will just create conflicting messages as there are lots of debug (dex) threads out there and the infomation is spread about so ppl replying here may not have read what is known else where.

so if you go back to the thread and you learn how to do it then please come back here and add the solution to your main post so others can see and also learn

Here's how

(I tried windows disk manager and it could detect the unallocated partition, but EaseUS detected it) If anybody who uses this picks the wrong drive or otherwise screws up i take no responsibility

I didnt try it yet but since it's PatrickBatman im sure it works.

How to edit the size of HDD

If you do not want to dedicate an entire HDD to PS3 backup, with this guide you can edit the size of the ps3gen partition and have one that you will use with Ps3Gen and one that you can format in FAT32/NTFS or in another format of your choice to be used normally.
