is there anyway to get the ps3 to read my maxtor one touch external drive which is ntfs

also when i copied the same file on a pen drive and connected it to the ps3 it read the file

thanking all in advance

thanks lyndon

but after reading on the net i partioned the drive using swissknife and formatted about 14gb as fat32 and the balance to ntfs i am currently using a 250 gb maxtor one touch 4 mini external hard drive

the ps3 displayed it for appx 5-6 sec and then it dissappeared this happened the 1st time i plugged it in to the ps3 after that i never saw it

any thoughts what i should do to

lyndon,

after pondering and fiddling i finally found out the problem it was the cord that i was using it worked fine with laptop but not with the ps3 i tried the cord that came originally with it which was much sorter in length and thicker

hence the 1st cord was longer and not feeding it with the full 5volt required
maybe the reason the ps3 reconized the drive for a few sec and then vanished due to lack of consistent required power

thanks once again for all your prompt replies

now i have to sit and sort the issue with the ps3 not connecting my router and enabling my wma

regards
