In an attempt to see if I can use my “My Passport” external hard drive on my ps3 I followed steps to see if this hard drive was a fat32 external hard drive.
Steps I followed: from this website
wikihow / add an external hard drive to a ps3
Check what the File System type is by going to Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Manager
After following these steps I received a pop up window. While this pop up was on my screen, my 2 year old son was asking for my attention. I turned my head away, lost my train of thought, came back to my screen and closed out the pop up I received, not paying attention to the message.
Result:
My Passport External hard drive seemed to be deleted or not shown on any of the drive letters.
Now I cannot access my My Passport driver.
I do see that the drive looks like it is on Disk 1 but I can see that the driver status states “Unallocated”.
I can see that I still have data on my hard drive but have no way ot un-doing whatever was done.
It sounds like a simple task, to undo what the “pop up” stated that I neglected to pay attention to.
Can anyone help me with this issue.
All I need to do is turn a setting back on so my external hard drive can be found under a drive letter and so I can access my data.
I have many precious videos, pictures of my son from when he was a new born till the age of two.
Please help.
