Go to My Computer and see if your PSP is under that.

If you put the PSP into USB mode and go into My Computers, it should show up as a Removeable Disk. Windows XP should recognize it, without you having to install any Drivers.

Damn, I honestly don't know. Maybe the USB cable is shot or you have USB 1.1.

I know that this is extremely stupid and you're not this dumb, but do you have a memory stick in the PSP?

No, that wasn't an insult. I'm just trying to eliminate every possible thing to narrow the problem down.

You need to have a memory stick in the PSP when you connect it via USB.

You can charge the PSP, just not via USB. Use the wall charger.

But yea, without a memory stick it won't let you access the PSP and upload files to it.

You CAN charge the PSP via usb you just have to build yourself a charger.

or try this neat podcast with pictures. You don't need an ipod, all you need is quicktime player.
