2 fat32 partition on external USB HDD problem.

[lightning696969]

I have 2 fat32partition on my 1TB external USB drive bith with GAMEZ on it, but the OM only recognize one drive only.

Is there any way to get OM to recognise both. What I plan to do is put all those that can run without a BD disc on one drive so that I can easily recognise which games need disc to boot and which doesn't.

dude first off the bat ...

why you might ask well i made a thread its on page 3 the titel being something like :
help!!!!got a dual bay hdd enclosure only showing 1 hdd in open manager but both in xmb


check it out nobody has actually been able to help me out too its nice to see im not the only one running 2 partitions aka 2 hdds in 1 enclosure wich is the same thing ,yeah the xmb detects it but om doesnt it sucks hope they actually add in some compatibility i mean the xmb detects them, then they make a program that actually hacks the ps3 aka om ,to be able to play backups but doesnt detect several hdds or partitions for that fact is just absurd more like blasphemy!!!,peace bro

bump, i have the same problem too.

[probablecauz]

yeah i have the same problem only my hd is 1.5TB and i have 3 different partitions

Why do you need 2partitions? If I were you I would just merge the partitions into 1 partition. I've used partition magic in the past to adjust some partitions it works good.

you can have a fat32 partition that's larger than 32gb?

[breakdown234]

yeah but you need something like acronis disk manager or such or a freeware program just google it btw


it only does partitions up till 2tb , and if your shit outa luck like me with a 4tb hdd dual enclosure , then thats not good and nobody here seems to be able to answer that question i even ran both in the xmb but the om only detects 1 hdd , facepalm wtf!!!


ps . them developers better get native dual hdd support fast cause my patience is running low ..-,-´ for crying out loud the xmb detects it already and a hacking program such as om cant . give me a break ,

I thought the max fat32 could handle was 8TB?

[breakdown234]

no not so i even tried it with linux distribution live cd wich lets you format in a mac environment and still the fat32 limit is and always will be 2tb, its ridiculous they couldve and they better put in native dual hdd support the xmb detects em so why not om i hope ya digg me now ,peace yall


we NEED DUAL OR MORE HDD DETECTABILITY the PS3 DASH DETECTS IT NATIVELY NO MATTER HOW MANY EXTERNAl HDDS YOU HOOK UP PLUS

BESIDES fat 32 being limited to 2tb after that comes the boot type of the hdd wich is gona have to be gpt if you want a partition larger than 2tb instead of mbr wich ps3 doesnt detect , bingo ,facepalm


dual hdd support ftw!!
