It's NTFS (New Technology Filing System) first implemented on WIndows NT (one of my fave windows platforms) because of its secure filing system, problem is - nothing else really recognizes the filing system so FAT32 is the preferred option...Originally Posted by KIGO
Hope that helps in some obscure way...

Yup, thrust me....I did everything by the book. Im not the person that just blindly screws open his PS3 and ****s arround with it. I did a fair amound of research, and I did see the people having the same problem. But hey, never thought I would had to go through the same sjit. I seems people with smaller backups have less problems.

@ace: you got it spot on, i use ntfs on my system to. to bad this made my external drive useless for interacting with the ps3 thoughre-formating it is out of the question so i prob need to get the monees to by a second one for use with the ps3

It was my understanding that all subsequent Windows OS systems [with the exception of Millennium Edition] use NTFS. Although I do have a version of Win2000 Pro that allows one to choose either FAT32 or NTFS on installation. I chose FAT32 for compatibility with another pre-existing harddrive within the same tower.

I've avoided the PS3-specific problems by buying a 360 Arcade model yesterday. I'm sUUUUUUre that KIGO would approve.

Why didnt Microsoft continue the production of Windows NT and XP, these OS just worked, and did what they where designed for, not that spastic cunty operating system Vista. If Bill Gates come to Aus he better be careful cause im going to kill him.
Now ignore the 360 Arcade thingy, you'll probably get more flashing red lights on that thing over a red traffic light in a entire operation of a week.
Keep on looking if you can find a old 60GB one, you will not be disappointed.

@lance

I think there's a lot of non-objective thought about console choices, and little appreciation of the differences of individual needs and desires. Those are personal rather than universal.

You can always partition your HDD to have NTFS and FAT32 running alongside...@ace: you got it spot on, i use ntfs on my system to. to bad this made my external drive useless for interacting with the ps3 though
My recommendation - put Windows OS and all system files on the NTFS partition (makes the operating system a lot more stable) and all other files/programs/apps on the FAT32 becuase it is accessed a lot faster through FAT32 and is a helluva lot more compatible with other systems...

No. Someday I may buy a PSP, but much of the DLC is not and never was available where I live, which tends to make the console less attractive than it might be. Too bad that the DLC is so worth getting, eh?

I've managed fine without it... But can understand your fascination with Icaras (lol)

Yes but now you may potentially have much worse 360 specific problems at some point down the line..I've avoided the PS3-specific problems by buying a 360 Arcade model yesterday. I'm sUUUUUUre that KIGO would approve.
I expect my Elite to last forever considering its basically a glorified dust collecting ornament, if consoles had mileage clocks It would be nearly new lol.

Mine is replacing my old unreliable DVD player. Not to mention that I was playing Soul Calibur IV on it yesterday. But anyway, whatever future problems may arise, I won't have the PS3 backup problem for a vEry long time, probably.

You guys forget the brilliant exfat that windows vista uses. Vista doesnt even support exfat, but hell you can format yer disc with it!! WHY!!
Could be that this has already changed, bla...im talkin about Vista..im gonna shut up now.
ps : it still sucks

My only suggestion is to wait W7. I am still using Release Candidate and I didn't get disappointed to use it with all narrow-specialized software I use at work

i know, i was only joking. Dont take it to seriously

I'm not taking it TOO seriously.

isnt it possible to say you live in, for example the netherlands, when you make an account so you get the european psn?
i've heard about people doing that to get in the japanese psn (and ps store)

Well, because of a software error that shows up once in a while it convinces you to get the most dumbed down console with 33% of the units suffering from hardware errors?
I don't get the logic, sorry.
Anyways, if having a system with a problem so big and so widespread as the RRoD doesn't trouble you, go for it I guess...
Oh yeah, DLC for WipEout PurE is here, always has been and always will. It's sadly the only one you can get this way, unless some day the DRM on the Pulse DLC is removed (somehow...)
