All of the original files that were loaded on the Reader when you first got it are also on the install disk for the Sony software.

The 505 looks to the Windows system as a mass storage device without any USB driver loaded. The 500 requires the Sony USB driver or the Windows system just ignores the Reader if plugged in.

linprs500's USB driver for the 500 and the Sony USB driver do not coexist well on the same system. To make things work well I have the Sony on one machine and libprs500 on another.
