Formatting a partitioned NTFS laptop HDD to Fat32 for PS3

Darren_NZ · 2009-10-09 12:02:24

I have a 120GB HDD from my old laptop that i want to use for a back drive for my PS3. To be compatible with PS3 i think it needs to be formatted as Fat32. The thing seems to be partioned in 2 roughly equal sections. how do I format this into a single Fat32 system that I can use to backup? thanks in advance
