Its a 250 gig Fat32 drive with a single partition. I have also had the same problem with SD cards, but if I burn the same files to a CD it will read it with no problem.
So you got the image from linux on the external drive? (saw your other post) Well my bet is you did it perfectly fine if you could view it in linux. The solution is when you are in the PS3 XMB goto video, goto the external-drive (but don't select it), and press (Triangle), you will then select "Display All Files" and then open it and locate the files, if you did it right they will show up.

I say don't worry about this process until UDF 2.5 support on Linux is announced here; (unless you are really really annoxious to waste hours in order to not have to wait days.)
