This may have come up before, sorry if it has.
I broke a 256MB MSPD a couple of hours ago by messing around with FDISK. The stick showed all symptoms of being completely ****ed, namely the flashing MS light and the "no memory stick is inserted" message.
Here is how I fixed it:
I booted the PSP into (3.52M33-2) recovery, inserted an MS that wasn't ruined, and enabled USB. When Windows recognized the drive, I swapped the stick for the one I messed up, and formatted normally.
Here are concerns:
* The 'good' stick and the 'bad' were the same size. This might be important.
* The 'bad' stick had the primary DOS partition removed via FDISK. Sticks ruined by other means may not be recoverable.
* both sticks were real Sony sticks, not freaky Chinese knockoffs.
