[ydl-gen] how to uninstall YDL 6.1 completely from my PS3

[Sam Lummis]

You could format the disk using a formatting utility on your PC. I don't
know what windows program you would use but if you have a linux OS plug your
2.5" drive in via USB then use GParted or QTParted to erase the partitions
then plug the unformatted drive back into the PS3 and it will recognise that
your drive is unformatted and format it for you. If you're using the linux
utility choose "format to" then "FAT32".
