    Hey all

    I just bought an 8gb sony pro duo, but when I plug the psp into pc it says it needs to be formatted. I formatted it on the psp, but the pc still says it needs to be formatted. So no big deal, except that when I try to format on the pc, it only recognizes it as a 3.52gb and the formatting drop down menu can't change size or format type, it's stuck on fat32.

    Any ideas on how to get it recognizing the correct size?

    Thanks in advance!

    Format with your PSP and see how many MBs your PSP says are on your MS.

    That sounds like 8 gigs to me. What are you trying to do with your PC that you need to format??

    trying to install cfw without a pandora battery. I only bought the psp today so i need to plug it into the pc to put on chickhen and all that jazz. Since the psp recognizes it properly then I suppose it must be a pc problem so I'll try asking around on some pc forums.

    It's on 2.71 at the moment. If i need to update it, since i've got a phat I can update it officially and still be able to mod it yeah? I've got a 32mb mem stick as well, but i don't think thats big enough for all the cfw software.
    *EDIT* Ok I've used the 32mb stick to instal cfw 5.00 and then formatted the 8gb. It's working now. I assume it must have been something to do with the 2.71 firmware. Thanks for all your help Guapo! *EDIT*
