    Re-formatting an old ps3 hard drive to use as an external.
    « on: June 29, 2009, 07:03:27 PM »
    I changed the hard drive from my ps3, leaving me with a useless 40gb hard drive. I bought an enclosure, but I can't seem to get the new drive to connect to anything to format it. Is it even possible?
