So I have a 1.5 terabite external hard drive and I want to be able to have it work with my Playstation 3. I also want it to work with my Toshiba Laptop which has Vista. Can anyone tell my how to format the partition so that it is Fat32 and the other is NTFS? on a side note if I instal UBuntu onto my PS3 do I need to use the fat32 for that also or will NTFS work with it? Thanks alot.

Will work with FAT32 as long as you don't have any really big files you want on Ubuntu.

As for partitioning it, just grab Gparted, boot to it, then partition off what you want and make sure it's doing FAT32 instead of NTFS when it asks you what options you want. Should be straightforward.
