yikes sounds like a problem with win32 which is the core of the windows os - have you installed anything that messes with the core files. you may even need to reinstall windows to fix it

i am not responsible for what i do or my advice

might try it tommorow, kinda late here, if not ill just go internet cafe then, thanks for the replies  :tup:

EDIT: ok i typed command instead and i got in, but when i drag the format program thingy and type the name of my drive it doesnt do anything, it just goes back to saying /documen/owner something like that, so i went to my mates house and tried it and it worked but i didnt connect it through usb, but when it said it had totally formatted, the psp files were still there?

help please
