I used this:

Works fine with my 1TB ext. HD and my Xbox 360.

Now its showing on the PS3 is there any option anywhere to format via the PS3 just to make sure its in exactly the right format? Just a thought. I've not got much experience of the PS3

Theres a DOS utility you can download called format FAT32 that will allow you to format any size partition to FAT32. Google it :)

will that work with my ps3?

FAT32 only works for up to 4GB.

You'll need to format it as NTFS.
