How do i formate my psp memory stick

format the card with the format disk tool in the psp

There is a format function in the psp itself...it will work..it is in system settings tab... doesnt bother with the pc to format

Have you tried to format in the PSP. Go to System in the main menu, then system settings, then format memory stick. I purchased a new chip for mine and it did not show as storage till i did this. Insert or remove chip only when unit is powered off. If it still does not work take it to the store and have it checked. Hope it helped.

Movies have to be in a specific .mp4 format to work on PSP's. If the movies are not supported then you will have to convert them to the respected format.

Before you go throwing any old video file onto your PSP, make sure you have the following items:

• The PSP. This is self-explanatory.
• The .MP4 video files.
• Video conversion software to convert non-MP4 files to MP4, the format the PSP reads.

If its cost a lot, it should have warranty. Go and ask for a replace. 7.63 GB is ok for a 8 GB card. cz, file system itself takes some space.

But i dont think the card is still good.

plug in ur PSP in the computer and then format it.

in psp get virus plz format ur psp than recover u psp than solve r problam thank u

When you reformat a memory stick it creates a trash folder which stores all the data incase you need to use it again. Put your memory stick in your psp then connect your psp via usb to a computer, in the computer view of the momory stick make sure you have the 'view hidden folders' option checked, then delete all folders & files on the stick. Remove the psp from the computer & reformat it again you should find 8gb available again

Two possibilities.
1. The firmware on your PSP is too old to recognise the 8GB (only recognises up to 4GB).
2. If firmware is up to date you have a fake memory stick (easy way to check is to check the info for the memory stick on your PSP if its says that MAGIC GATE is unknown rather than supported then it is fake.

The fake ones typically double compress the data so that it appears to have 8GB when in reality it does not.
