I've tried my EXT HDD on Pc and it is absolutely working fine, Purchased it few days ago, Formatted my HDD with some Fat32 Software, I have a main folder in the EXT HDD as GAMES than BLES01-- Something, Within that BLES folder there are 2 More folders as PS3-Game and Ps3 Update, No it is not showing in XMB too

Are you sure its FAT32? (32kb cluster I use for PS3 and Wii compatibility), if it was definitely fat32 it would show on XMB.

Might be worth backing up your games someplace else, and formatting again.

I use MINItool to delete everything and create new FAT32 partition: http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Pa...-10962200.html

Do your PS3 usb ports definitely work? Can you test that?

I think I need a USB hub to get it work, and I've tested the port, The port was charging my Joystick Fine! I recently purchased my PS3. I think it's a compatibility issue with PS3, It's not picking up my 3.0 one!

USB 3.0 is backwards compatible with 2.0.

Mine works fine.

I have 3 USB 3.0 drives.
(The second I get them I format any software off of it, and create my partitions. I dont want crappy software on my devices)

Errrrrrrrrrrrrr...... I did ask you if you were using a powered USB Hub a wee while back, and also told you that not using one is a common reason for an otherwise healthy USB Drive not to work if your drive is USB powered, but Hey Ho

Your Usb's work fine without any hubs? O.o This is just getting awkward and complicated time by time, Mine Western Digital 1 Tb, Is working fine on Pc/Laptop but not showing anything on PS3. And I have no Partitions created in my Passport Drive, and there isn't any software installed. And I formatted my Drive with some Guiformat.exe software

I'll make this simple for you ......

Does the HDD you are having problems with get it's power from a plug in transformer, or do you just plug it into the USB port on PC or PS3?

PC's give out a 'better' USB power supply than your PS3 does which is why SOME USB Drives do NOT work on your PS3 even when they work on your PC.

So, Do I need a hub to get it work? :P

Here is something else you can look into, those drives come with pre-installed software called WD Smartware, that software will stop ithe HDD from working on the PS3, now even though you have formatted the HDD this software is sitting hidden on a small partition, so if that's still on the HDD that might be whats stopping it from being seen by the PS3

Try using partition software, there are plenty of free one's ie: Easeus or Paragon
