I wouldn't buy Seagate drives to be honest - I've read nothing but bad reports. It might therefore be the brick's fault. I have used a 120gb Western Digital (http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=256606&CatId=2267) with my old Jamo DMR61 and it worked fine. I haven't got a PS3 to test it but it might be worth changing HD.

The hard drive must be formatted as fat32 otherwise the ps3 cannot recognise it. Try posting a question on the PS3 forums to see if anybody has experience of that particular drive

i've got a WD 120gb hard-drive and it works fine with my PS3. with all the firmware updates it'll play 90% of the files i throw at it. sorry, sounds like it's the 'brick'!

PS. when using my PS3 menu it'll say 'no titles available' when i press 'X' but try pressing triangle and select 'all titles', works for me! of course if your harddrive doesn't appear on your PS3 menu at all you're out of luck!

good luck.
