Hello, I have a PS3 super slim edition. It was on a 4.85 firmware version. So I installed 4.85 HWF firmware, after that installed HEN and then MultiMAN. But MultiMAN won't see my external HDD which is NTFS format. I tried everything even formatting it to FAT32, creating MBR partition on it and etc. It just doesn't want to see my HDD. Every time I choose PFS driver (in MultiMan mode) 2 new folders appear in the root pvd_usb0000 and 0001 none of them working it just loading endlessly. I tried even to add USB.CFG manually but no result.
I can only use my USB pen drive which is only 8 GB. I tried to install pkg files of games from USB drive, they are installing but not working. Tried to copy game folder to GAMES in MultiMAN. The game appears in MultiMAN menu, but not loading. When I load it, it exits from MultiMan to XMB and nothing else tried to enable the virtual disc drive(BDdrive as I remember), made anything that I can(or I'm aware of) but nothing works. I heard that IrisMan is better to work with external HDDs, installed it. But no result.
I can connect to FTP and Transfer big games to my ps3 HDD. But I tried it with little capacity games with no result, so I'm afraid of wasting time.
 
I tried single ntfs partition, 1 ntfs and 1 fat32 partition. No result. Can't make whole fat32 hole HDD because of other important things in it

What kind of external HDD you using..? PS3's have issues with some of these new external sealed HDDs such as the WD Passport Drive, because of the FW running them and other crap on them.

The best thing to use is an internal HDD and put it in an empty "plug & play" External HDD enclosure.

I'm using 1TB G-Drive from Western Digital :/
So it means that it can be a problem with external HDD.
Okay. But games that I'm copying game from fat32 that recognized by my ps3, are not working. also I tried to install pkg from usb drive and copy game folder to "GAMES". Both of them showing up in menu, the package one in XMB menu and that copied one in MultiMan menu but both of them not working

I'll post about it after a while, newcomers can't post anything

FYI Ps3 supports only MBR partition.
I am using ntfs at the moment.
You can try plug your external hdd usb in first then start ps3, enable hen and wait sometime until top- right info bars closed.
it worked on webman mod for my hen version
