It took 13 Hours to figure out and 9 pieces of software but I've finally done it, mydamn external HD is formatted and is now readable by my PS3 which in turn means I can back up my PS3 data as well as transfer stuff stuff to it, hahaha and I was ready to give up on it!

So yes I inally managed to install new themes I had on my laptop as well as transfer a few new photos to it as well, can we say well happy :-D

HD NEEDS TO BE FORMATTED TO FAT32!! Which rather annoyingly Vsta refuses to do it will only format to NTFS and exFAT (What the hell is exFAT?)

i used the software EASEUS Partition Master 6.1.1 Home Edition to do it. Turns out it's just a ripped off free version of Partition Magic real godsend. These guys aremy saviours, or at least my HD saviours was gunna throw it at a wall lol.
