first of all thank you to this site and to hercules for the nice guide which i used to make CFW 3.71 m33-2.ive been here for about 2months learning and understanding the Pandora.and now i manage to have the courage to do so.LOL...and it works...my problem is my nand backup..

before i flash my psp with the CFW i made a nand backup and after that i put CFW...the problem is....to my excitement when i got to the xmb i went to system settings and put my nickname and FORMAT my mem stick which contains my NAND backup...huhuhuhuhu

the question is can i make a new one after i put CFW on my unit.???thank guys...

Yes run pandora again and dump it. It'll be a current backup with CFW.

Ok this may be a bit out of topic but I've read somewhere that flashing custom firmware using pandora also make some changes to IPL & IDSTORAGE.... So incase your psp malfunctioned for some reason and you have to give it back to sony for repair, then installing official firmware or flashing the NAND Dump (i.e the one taken after installing cfw) .. before sending it to sony wouldnt do any good .... They will find out that the PSP has been hacked and reject it by checking the ipl & idstorage ...... So flashing NAND Dump taken before any hacking, is the only way to wipeout any trace that would suggest that the psp had been hacked...

Can anyone Confirm This ???

i havent heard that..doesnt mean it's not valid though.. but i never keep nand dumps, they are only useful really for devs
