If it's working you'll see an obvious non-Sony 'menu' page. You've not unzipped it into a sub-folder, have you? The root of the SD card should have the following...
Code:
bin/
files/
Sony Reader/
flash_opt.sh
libfskLoad.so
make_opt.sh
mcopy
mtools.conf
myvm2.xml
new_opt.img
readme.PRS500.txt
readme.PRS505.txt
script.sh
If it has, try reformatting the SD card to FAT/FAT16 & re-copy?
