[QUOTE="TheSonOfUgly"]Are you trying to back it up on a windows computer?TheSonOfUgly

yes, i tried on windows vista and on windows XP, why???

Because Windows doesnt support the format FAT32 that PS3 uses, youll have to find someone w/ a mac

my sister has one,a mac book pro, do think it may work ?

I believe it will, but not 100% sure. You might as well try it

i'll ask her when she arrives home, if it works i'll let you know

It's something like thisspazzx625

i have bought one of those to try, i conected it to my pc, it sees it but it doesn't assign aletter to it, to assign a letter the disk must be formated, i also conected it like that to my ps3 and it doesn't recognizes it.
