    Sorry if this doesnt belong here,
    but i cant find a section to post this at :(
    You know like when you want to copy cd content
    you can do it in 2 ways

    1st way)
    extract content of 1st cd to the Desktop
    Cut/Copy paste the content from the desktop to the 2nd cd
    Burn the 2nd cd

    2nd way)
    <Which is the preferred way>
    Use program such as NERO
    and just click 'copy cd'
    and follow the instruction

    the reason why i would use the 2nd way is because sometimes
    the 1st way just doesnt work the way the original cd would work
    perhaps like different formattings or so

    well anyways,
    what im trying to do right now is to do the exact same thing
    EXCEPT its not with CD but with sony memory card

    my friend has a sony memory card formatted in a way that it would work in a device
    i used the 1st way to copy to my memory card but when insert it to that device,
    it just wont work~

    so now im thinking if there's a NERO for memory stick?
    you guys have any recommendations?

    I believe using Nero's Image Recorder would work. I think you have to use copy disc function where the source media is the actual CD and the destination is set to Image Recorder. Doing it this way will make a CD image (such as ISO)/.

    nope
    not talking iso

    well ill tell you anyways
    do you know AIBO?

    basically what im trying to do is to copy their MIND software into the memory stick.

    the thing is sold for like US$300 in ebay
    try searching for it, AIBO ERS-7 MIND3

    anyways, it comes in the format of memory stick (the sony LONG blue one)
    what im trying to do is just to get the regular memory stick and copy its content, but when i place it into the Aibo, it doesnt work.

    Thats why i want to know if there's other way to do it~
    that MIND memory stick apparently is 'different'
    it seem to have its OWN format

    Nero does not need such an option.

    If you have a card reader, just place your mem stick into the slot.

    And open Nero and make a Data CD:
    - choose all files in the Memstick
    - Burn and Verify.

    Done.
