Help NOOB!!

I just got my first PSP yesterday, the Daxter bundle. I tried all day to get the thing modded w/cfw. I think I have the battery right, just can't get the magic memory stick part. Near the end of the memory stick process I receive the reserved sector to small error.

I have used easy installers and manual installers both. The only thing that I can think of, is that I don't have a usb cable for my psp so I have just been using the memory stick in my pc slot. Is that the reason it isn't working, and if so could you explain why. Thanks in advance for any help

Sorry, I know I'm not supposed to double post. But I didn't know if anyone would look if I just edited the post since 18 people have looked and none answered. I went to a friends house and used PC with XP. It wrote the files to the MMS. Now the only problem I have is getting the CFW to load, I have the MMS in then put in the PB but the normal screen loads everytime. What am I doing wrong? Please Help.

put the batt. in without the MMS & if the screen shows the stock XMB it's your batt., it should have a green power light & a black screen,if not then redo the batt. & try again

Yea do what dave said. Also, Im pretty sure most MMS makers dont work on vista. I'll try and help in any way I can

okay, I took the memory stick out. Took the battery out, put the battery back in and turned on the psp, booted up to the stock xmb. So since it's the battery, just how hard do you have to push to cut the circuit I have "traced back and forth numerous times w/knife. Also tried cutting the pin but apparently not good enough

If it's the Slim...you dont need to touch the pin..just gently (but apply some pressue) scratch back and forth to cut the wire...just do it 10-15 (not hard) and then try starting it up again..be gentle though...cuz you can crack the motherboard.

Thanks for the help, I finally got it. I thought I was too rough to begin with but apparently I too gentle. Well I'm now um gonna find a few of "my" games to try out with it. Also what is the best program for converting video files to mp4?

If you have a vista.... just download a pandora files and use command propmt to make the mms... it is pretty easy

I did, I used a few different ones. It kept getting the sector to small error. I'm not saying it doesn't work on Vistav I love Vista and wish that I could have got it to work. Just easier on XP I guess. But I wanted to thank you guys who respond and made this site what it is, now I'm off to play FF:Anniversary till my bigger MS gets here so I can play Crisis Core.
