Multiman wont show my external HDD cabinet (FAT32)

[jimo_swe]

Hey!

Im running latest Multiman with CFW 3.55, I have made some backups on my internal ps3 hdd and everything works fine. A week ago I bought a HDD cabinet with two 750gb harddrives, one is NTSF and the other one is FAT32. When I connect my cabinet it shows up in the XMB (only the FAT32 ofc) but when I launch multiman it wont even show the USB icon at the bottom screen, what am I doing wrong? I can manually start games from my external hdd if press L1 a couple of times in multiman, go into my /dev_usb and select the desired eboot.bin.

But why wont it show up directly in multiman, I have reformated my HDD several times and done several FAT32 converts aswell, nothing works.
When I use my USB stick it shows in multiman....

Tried both x:\GAMES and x:\GAMEZ

May it be that PS3 cant read hdd cabinets?

Regards

Wow, I'm having the exact same problem as you except I'm using a regular 80gb external drive, not a cabinet. When you plug your drives into your computer, do they each show up as 1 partition or 2? I'm asking because my 80gb shows up as both a hard drive and a cd drive. If that's the case with you too, maybe that's why the PS3 isn't recognizing it as a hard drive and it would also explain why you can manually launch the games with the eboot.bin like me.

When I plug my cabinet into a computer it shows 2 HDD, nothing more. I wonder if the problem might be the cabinet, because it use 1 usb contact for two HDD, I am clueless...
