I deleted the Sony PSP folder on my unit, help!Dave, I hooked up my Sony PSP to my Windows PC and, darn it, accidentally deleted everything on the memory stick. Now I'm stuck. How do I recreate everything? If you're okay with having a complete rebuild, then your best bet might be to just reformat the Memory Stick on your Sony PSP directly. That's done by going to Home, then Settings, then System Settings, then find Format Memory Stick and select it by pressing the "X" button. It'll build all the files and folders you need. Failing that, or if you have some content still on your 'stick and want to avoid a complete reformat, hook your PSP up to your PC (or Mac, for that matter), then make sure that there's a folder on the very topmost level called "PSP". Within that here's what you should end up with:  While you're at it, you can easily drop JPEG images into the PHOTO folder and MP3 files into your MUSIC folder. Done? Click on the PSP disk on your Windows screen and select Eject (or if you're on a Mac, use control-click Eject instead). Now unplug your PSP and you should be back in business!

Uhhhh.....So I used to get a folder on my computer when I plugged in my PSP, but it has disappeared. I cannot get a removable disk folder in my computer...but I checked the device manager and it said that everything is working. It lists the PSP as a USB mass storage device. But I can't open that link. That is the only place 'PSP' is listed...Help!

Posted by: hasn at August 2, 2007 6:53 AMi dont have a video file on the computer when i connect the psp and the computer with usb cable..help? Posted by: amar at August 28, 2007 5:58 PMJUST TO CLEAR UP SOME LITTLE PROBLEMS SEEMS TO BE HAVING.... 1. Register your PSP with sony and get the latest firmware. 2. Missing folders on your PSP memory card can be reset by simply formatting the card through your PSP's system sttings. 3. When wanting to add video make sure you drag & drop a .THM file to your VIDEO folder (not your mproot folder) aswell as the .MP4 File.. (If your looking for a good dvd convertor then IMTOO Platinum Ripper is what i use). 4. Drag and drop your pictures to picture folder & mp3's to music folder. 5. If you do not have any of these folders either do STEP1 & STEP2 or create them via you pc. Plug you PSP into computer navigate to USB, a window will now open... Create the folders named - MUSIC , PICTURES , VIDEO , . 6. THE PSP FOLDER... Inside this folder there should be the following folders. If not then create them. - COMMON - ? SAVEDATA - Game Saves. SYSTEM - ? THEME - Themes are stored here if you have the latest firmware that is. Anyway thats about all i can say on the matter for now... Just some quick other notes... The psp speakers are very quiet, this due to a public convenience law or something, you will find the volume very loud through headphones. Also as you all already kno i'm sure, the screen scratches so easy.. When i say easy i mean a piece of tissue paper will leave scratches. Get yourself a proper cleaning cloth and try to use a self adhiesive screen protector.

Posted by: john at January 21, 2010 5:14 PMHi, I'm someone considering to download games or possibly just psone classics games on my psp from the online playstation store. I heard that on the ps3 if you download things like that using the playstation store and you happen to lose those things, you can log in with the user that you bought those things with and re-download all that stuff back onto your ps3 without purchasing. Sort of like a back up. Does anything like that exist for the psp? Because I'm shopping for a bigger memory card and curious if i need to wait to get the new one before downloading games. Is there a way to back up these games period? Posted by: Jacob at January 30, 2010 2:31 PMok well i wanted to change a bookmark on my psp through my computer so i edited the bookmarks.html file using wordpad the file is in K:/PSP/SYSTEM/BROWSER/ and now when i go onto my PSP browser none of my bookmarks are there and when i try to add new ones it says: Save failed. (FFFFFFFF) so if you can tell me how to fix it or make a new file that will work or download a new file that will work please do it would be greatly appreciated. Posted by: jadink at February 13, 2010 3:37 PMahm...hai there mr DAVE?,, can u help me? this is my problem: ........I FORMATED my removable disk F: or the PSP/Memory stick,, my version is 6.20 and when i open it by using my computer,there is only one folder the PSP folder, and there is none other folder such as ISO VIDEOS MUSIC AND ETC. so how can i have the folders again?? Posted by: mark anthony at February 17, 2010 9:32 PMMark and everyone, you need to use the PSP to format the memory stick, not your computer. A common mistake. Reformat it again (it'll lose anything you've saved there!) and see if things are working better... Posted by: Dave Taylor at February 17, 2010 10:17 PM...........ahm mr dave taylor??

Posted by: aaron at December 8, 2011 5:51 AMGood Morning Dave, I have a PSP-1001. It was working fairly well until last night. I had downloaded awhile back some videos formatted to mp4. They played all right but I had to name each 100MNV01,02, etc. If I remember correctely, because I accidentally deleted everything when I connected my computer and up-graded to 6.60. Those videos are gon, none of the advice I read works for FW and the only thing that will transfer is photos. Please help, tell me what needs restoration. There used to be two files outside of the PSP folder, one was 100MNV01 I am sure, but lost the other and it's name, if this helps. Thank you in advance.
