If I go to SETTINGS>SYSTEM SETTINGS>FORMAT UNTILITY I don't have the option to format the hard drive it just says, "format system storage"
So, how can I format the hard drive to "Allot 10GB to the other OS"? Do I need to turn something on?
Hi finsfree,
You don't mention which PS3 you're using - or what system software you're running - but it sounds like you don't have the correct model to run Linux.
Basically - to run PS3 Linux, you need to have:
- A PS3 "phat". Linux was never an option on the slims or superslims
- A system OS earlier than 3.21. PS3 Linux was removed in Firmware update 3.21.
Cheers,
Paul
P.S. We have a historical post about the removal of Linux here:
