Probably the best way to destroy the filesystem on your memorystick.

How would removing the stick when its not being accessed then renaming some files damage the file system?

Because you never know when the cache is flushed to the stick
by your operating system. Except for unix where you can "sync;sync".

For removable device, XP doesnt do any cache, except if you set it into your hardware removable device. It should copy the file strait.

I know it should (you can set optimize for removeable device, or something like that, don't know in english)

But when I seriously watch any removeable drive's status light,
you'll see it will not do so, compared to e.g. Linux after issueing sync.

Forgot to mention, that I already had a lot of dead digital-camera memory to revive that was killed that way by others.

If you can get a copy of the fat you're done, if not you can just search for
known filemagics (which is easy for pictures) and dump your data.

On PSP we don't know the filemagics for every possible savegame/data yet, do we ?
