Best Answer

Use Disk Utility and Erase the disk.

This also allows selection of formats other than the standard HFS+ Journaled formatting.

Disk Utility can also Partition the disk, if you want to do that.

Can you upgrade 40g PS3 with more storage?

yes but it would void your warranty. what i sugguest is that you by a external hard drive, format it to FAT32 (from your computer) and then use that. You can get a 1TB (which holds a lot of space), and save all your games, movies, music, ect... and use everything from there. If you get a Western Digital external HDD (Hard Drive) you can get it for $119.99 - $149.99. Besides, a Hard Drive that you can use on anything, including the PC and X-Box 360 in format FAT 32 would be much better wouldn't it?
