ok here's the thing..
I currently use Vista to stream content to my 360. Am going to change that in favour of putting YDL on my PS3 and watching my stuff that is stored on an external HDD.
here is my dilema....
This external HDD of course can be formatted with FAT32 but on Windows (where my files currently are) you only have a max format size of 32GB. The drive is 200GB.
How do I format the drive so that it can be read under linux and formatted the whole 200GB and also copy my files over to it from Windows once done?
Thanks in adv!!

If you have access to a tool like Partition Magic in windows, you can convert a large(!) NTFS formated drive to FAT32. You don't loose any data and it is really quick. I thought I had to back up everything first and then copy it back, but that's not necessary. After doing that, you can access your HDD both when connected to Windows and PS3. There's probably some Linux tool for doing this, but I don't know which...
(It is windows FAT32 formater that sets the low limit on the drive size - not FAT32 itself. That's why this works. Try wikipedia FAT32 if you want to know more.)
