When Windows cannot read the "Table-Of-Contents" from a disk-drive, it takes a guess that the disk is brand-new, and requires "formatting" to make it ready to be used. Windows asks your permission, before doing that formatting.

If you have been using the drive for a while, and you have written files onto it, say 'NO'. It may be possible to "recover" those files
(like pages in a notebook -- they are not "blank", even though the Table-Of-Contents has become corrupted). Search online for "file recovery" software to read through the disk, page-by-page, that tries to reconstruct the Table-Of-Contents.

If the contents of the drive do not matter, say 'YES', to allow the formatting to occur. Take careful note whether the format completes "successfully" or "unsuccessfully".

When i connect my external hard drive its showing for formate :( i have many important file .. please tell me how can i fi this problem ?

If you feel able to takle this yourself, you could download a Hirens Utility disc, and use their disc recovery software, however the best option would be to send to to a specialist hard drive data recover centre, if you google Hard Drive Data Recovery, I'm sure a few companys will come up, please be aware this is not cheap

Trying to upgrade my hard drive to 250gb. PS3 will not recognise new hard drive even after I format it to FAT32 on a computer. When I put new hard drive into the PS3 it tells me to format hard drive and if...

If your PS3 is telling you to format your hard drive, then it is recognizing it. You have to reformat the hard drive using the PS3, not your computer. If you don't have the option of formatting your hard drive then you may have to download an update from Sony and then run that disc to format the hard drive. Some of the updates will completely erase all saves, downloads, & etc when done from a disc. So be sure to use this with your new hard drive in the PS3, just to be sure not to lose all your stuff on your old hard drive. Sony has a "walk-thru" on these things on their website.
