PS3 NTFS drive not being detected

[CGMY]

My old NTFS external hdd was starting to fail so I moved all my PS games to a new one, but it is not being detected in MM/Webman/Irisman using PrepISO. The drive is 2TB NTFS MBR with the default allocation size. I have the PSX/2/3/PISO folders on the root of the drive. Anyone know what I could be missing?

Enter to IRISMAN's File Manager to check if you can browse the file in the NTFS drive.

If the files can be accessed, then prepISO should be able to read them. The names of the files and folders would need to be checked,

If the files cannot be accessed, the issue could be related to the HDD format. If you have multiple partitions, make sure the primary is one that contains the games.

You could try changing the format to to exFAT (or FAT32 if you don't have files larger than 4GB or split the big ones).

There was only one partition and the drive was working fine with my other consoles. Formatting to exFAT and manually refreshing the xmb after using prepISO fixed my issue on PS3.
