This weekend I was replacing the HDD in my PS3 and I needed to backup the old drive first as I could not find anything on ghosting/cloning to the new. I don't know if the ghost/clone would work going from 60GB to 160GB anyways so I went the backup route. The backup drive needed to be FAT32 and the only drive I had I could use was 120GB in NTFS format. If you know windows you know the problem I am getting to is that you can't format larger then 32GB into FAT32 format in windows. Well with this tool you can find that it did the job fairly well I didn't get to use it much but for this purpose alone it is handy. I doubt we will see many times we need to be formating large drives in FAT32 but nice to know we can. I think this tool likely has more potential for us but at the moment this is the only grounds I see it for but I will be looking into it more.
