error i encountered during i modded the psp

Making the Memory Stick using Rains Ultralite MMS

error: blah blah blah "IPL injection failed" blah blah blah "not enough free space" blah blah blah"
solution:
a. i checked using RainsIPLMStool. ( i got only 8kb IPL space or something like that)
what the heck is this i got 4Gb duo card and only got that space of IPL and my other 2Gg duo
got 200kb or something higher like that.
b. So i format the 4Gg duo card using mspformat. ( i read this in some other forums, thanks to
that sites and i really forgot thus links just make a search in google.)
c. i checked again my 4Gg duo card and have now higher IPL space.
d. then format again my 4Gg duo using the psp.
e. then run again the Rains Ultralite MMS then no more error pop up.
