uh yup, the hardest part of the process is switching the drive caddy to the new drive, with a proper screw driver can be done in minutes, the format can take some time to complete though...... and there are a few homemade desktop hdd and multi-drive hacks via switches and via raid setups for some serious space!

Right now I have all my movies on a 60gig that I just plug into the USB port but if I drop a larger drive in that would save me a lot of headaches. Thanks Arch.

Format the drive with two different partitions both in FAT32 before installing it in the PS3.

Use partition magic and create a couple partitions, it works perfect.

FAT32 is the only option. XMB does not read NTFS, Ext2, Ext3, or HTFS.

Does anyone know when i try to stream a Divx movie from my PC to the PS3 it always stops at the 1 HR mark. Is there anything to do to fix this? I have the 80 GB model updated to the newest firmware.

I have the same problem with a file I made it will play fine to a certain point and then it stops and gives me a file corrupt error. So it will play up to the point that the file is broken.

Try copying it to the PS3 HD and see what it says about the file. Are you sure you computer is not going to sleep when you are trying to stream the movie?
