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!

Dear dave,
a few days back my sister mistakenly deleted all the files from the psp 3004 while it was connected via usb. Now the psp wont work at all. Whenever i switch it on, it shows sony computer entertainment and it hangs and shuts down after 10-15 seconds. I have a reason to believe that she has deleted everything in the PSP itself. how can i fix this problem?

Mark 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…
Please I need help. I formatted my PSP and now I can’t find the ISO folder and I don’t know how to get it back. Pease can you help?
ahm…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??
ok 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.
Hi, 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?
