Re:
Do both systems run XP? Also, check the driver files on your PC, and test it with another card of the same make. Is the write-protection switch set to on? Test the card reader with other formats of cards, if it is a multiple reader, just to make sure that it is functioning at all.

How to Fix a PSP Memory Stick
Step 1
Upgrade
your PSP's Firmware (its operating system) before doing anything else.
Firmware 5.0 solves many software problems that are encountered with
older memory sticks. You can upgrade it by simply connecting your PSP
to any wireless connection through its WiFi. Once a connection is established, the PSP will update itself automatically.
Step 2
Check to see that your memory stick's plastic tongs, the small sticks that separate each connection, are straight. If one is bent, your PSP will not recognize the stick.
Step 3
Remove
your memory stick if it still does not work. Insert it into a PC with a
memory stick slot. You will most likely be able to see all of your
saved files. If so, continue to the next step. If you still cannot see
your files, then your memory stick is defective, and it is not the
PSP's fault.
Step 4
Copy your files from the memory stick to the hard drive.
Step 5
Format
your memory stick using the "Format Disk" option in Windows. Open
Windows Explorer, and find your memory stick listed in the "Drives"
section. Right-click on the memory stick, and click "Format." Follow
the on-screen instructions in the windows that pop up.
Step 6
Insert
your memory stick into your PSP. It should recognize the disk now.
However, you now need to format the memory disk again with the PSP.
Step 7
Go the PSP main menu, and select "Settings." Then select "Format Memory Disk."
Step 8
Put
your memory stick back in your PC, and return the files you removed
earlier. When you reinsert the stick into your PSP, it should now see
all the files.
Try re-formatting your memory stick from your PSP console. A memory stick that is formatted from a PC or other hand held console sometimes cause incompatibility problem with the PSP.
If your PSP still can not read the memory stick, try checking your memory stick by using your friends PSP and see if they can access the memory stick.
If the memory stick can be accessed by your friends PSP then there is a problem with the memory slot of your PSP.
The only way to check the contacts of the memory slot of your PSP is to disassemble you PSP and take out the mother board.
BECAUSE YOUR PSP DOESNT HAS PSP DATA RECOVERY GO TO THE PLASTATION PORTABLE SHOP WHATEVER AND SAY TO GUY MY PSP DOESNT HAS PSP DATA SO I CANOT PLAY PSP GAMES THEN IF IT IS FINISH MAKING DATA IN YOUR PSP GO THE SWITCH ON UR COMPUTER AND PLUG THE PSP WITH USB CONNECTER AND CREATE A FOLDER AND NAME IT ISO WHEN YOU FINISH COPY GAMES AND PASTE IT IN THE ISO FOLDER AND INJOY UR PLAYING GAMES THANK MY NAME IS ABDULAZIZ BIN NASSIR BIN JOUMA BIN MOHAMMED IAM FROM OMAN THANK U.
Format it with your PSP not your PC, you pc will read the format from your psp but not vice versa because you are probably formatting it NTFS and not FAT16 or FAT32, the psp has its own way o formatting it. Thanks
I had the same problem. I bought a 2 gig memory pro-duo with the adapter and it gave me that error even though it fit just fine. I then tried a 512 memory stick and a 1 gig memory stick and neither one worked it gave me the C:13:01 error code. So I found out the hard way that the camera will not read it. The Sony DSC-S85 will not take memory above a 128. Try the Lexar 64MB memory stick. I just bought 4 and they work perfectly fine.
