Ive got aload of movies i want to put onto my ps3 and i have a large external hard drive and i have been told that i need my hdd to be in fat 32 as it is currently in NTFS but i have a lot of things on my hdd i need so is it possible to make a partition on my external and make the partition fat 32 so i can use it for copying things to ps3 or do i have to do the whole thing?
If it is possible what program is recommended.

It wont work on windows, I dont think. Formatted my 16GB usb stick using some software i found "google hint hint

" 50/50 fat32 and ntfs. and windows will only allocate a drive letter to 1 of the partition at a time so it was a waste of time

and again the answers i got was it will only work on linux. in the end I got 2 usb sticks. my situation was I needed music for me car and my car radio uses Fat32 and I wanted ntfs for file transfers larger than 4GB but fat32 wouldnt allow that. so I came up with the same plan but it wasnt to be

Boot from gparted live cd. Make two primary partitions (not logical), format the first one (left hand side of picture) to fat32, right hand side to ntfs. Done.

^ I also booted a live cd and did that, it loads into windows and see's one partition. then when I go to drive management and select the drive letter for the other partition it deletes the drive letter on the 1st partition. so it will only allow 1 drive letter allocation at a time.
