    4GB Mem Stick in PSP 1MB in Windows

    Hi All,

    I have bought 4 4gb memory sticks for my psp all 4 showed as 4gb and worked well, I copied 3.5gb of games onto each of them using windows xp, again all worked well.

    I can place each card into the PSP and it shows as 4GB or 3839MB and the games still work. when I now connect the PSP to my PC it only shows as a 1mb "Removable Drive"

    Any ideas on what has gone on?

    as I say the PSP sees it as 4GB but windows shows it as 1mb, I have tried all 4 cards and on 3 different PC all with the same result.

    Cheers
    Mark

    What about a format and if its saying 4gb on windows xp then it works,might be a fault with your usb lead or either the psp to send the data

    is it possible you have changed the XMB usb device either through the VSH menu or recovery menu?

    if the XMB usb device is set to flash 1 / 2 / 3 then it will show the internal flash memory (still removable).
    which for flash 2 is around 1mb

    boot into the recovery menu / configuration and change the "XMB usb device" to "memory stick" or press select (home with 3.52 m33) to open the VSH menu and change the USB device to memory stick.

    it might be a partition problem on the memory card.
