If you ever wanted to back up some of your files on your PS3 or just transfer some files from a PC, then here is what you can do using a thumb drive.
1. Connect your USB thumb drive to your PC and open it.
2. Make a folder called PS3
3. Inside the PS3 folder make four folders called... MUSIC,PICTURE,SAVEDATA, and VIDEO (All in CAPS)
By doing this allows your files to be recognized by the PS3 when you insert your USB thumb drive. This comes in handy when you want to backup your files and move to a a new PS3 slim or upgrade your hard drive. Important, you can not backup your games and updates...those you can download from the PSN store. So, BEWARE (you can only download your purchases so many times from PSN)
Example...
Now that you set up your thumb drive you can load some pictures from your Personal Computer onto the file PICTURE. Take the the drive over to your PS3 and plug the drive into a usb port. Look under photo and in seconds your drive should appear. If you push X then you will get a scary message "There are no images". So push "O" to go back to the drive and push ^ Triangle. Select "Show all" and you will see the four files made. Select PICTURE and view your contents. Use ^ Triangle to Transfer to your PS3 or do a slide show.
To save those pictures of Ingame play on you Wipeout HD. Just select the photo on your PS3, then push ^ Triangle to select "Copy". And you are now ready to take the drive back to your PC to post on your blog.
If you need more help, I recommend the forums for the PS3 at us.playstation.com
