Did you format this FAT32?

ExFAT and NTFS requires some special treatment.

So this is now I have done

I have formatted 2 partition of hdd to see if it works .. formatted my HDD clean !!

Converted HDD in to GPT layout nd created 2 new partition of 1.8 TB (FAT 32 & NTFS) too see if any of this works

Then added few .avi files and plugged with Powered USB hub but still no success

AVI files will only play inside Showtime.
( You can convert your AVIs using handbrake to m4v. )

@advocatusdiaboli - My Intial HDD 2 TB works flawlessly on PS3 nd they are .avi files

What I am thinking and trying to achieve, if GPT layout is visible on PS3. if I Convert my HDD on FAT32 (MBR layout) i have unalloctaed space of 1.6 TB which I cant assign drive or format ??

Now I cant even view my HDD on PS3 if I format it on FAT32 (MBR LAYOUT)??

Are those the same AVI files for the 2 cases?

The MBR layout has a 2TB limit the capacity that is left over will not be addressed so you can not use/see it. You must use GPT for single partitions larger than 2TB to be recognized on Windows (WinXP x64-bit and up support GPT). <-Now to get around this problem by using MBR w/ FAT32.

When you use the MBR layout seeing 1.6TB on ^2Tb drives is normal, open up the 3rd-party app I suggested and format it to FAT32. Make sure to lower the cluster size. Once done Windows will now recognize the full capacity and you will see 3.63TB in FAT32 format. You can now create unallocated space and create further partitions from there.

Here is a screeny of what you are trying to accomplish (fully tested and works on PS3). Please pay attention to Disk 2.
