I just bought this Msac-Fd2m (Memory stick / Floppy Disk adaptor and it will not work with my Sony MVC-FD81 it keeps giving me a Error C:13:01 ERROR

I think I found out how to utilize the Sandisk Magicgate 256mb memory stick on Sony Digital Camera. Just did it successfully! I have a DSC-P73 Sony Cyber-shot. First, I insert the Sandisk stick into the camera. Of course, I get C:13:01 memory error. Then I plug my USB cable from my camera to my computer. After that, I go to "My Computer" to find the drive that my camera is connected. Then, I right click the drive and select format. I have Window XP home edition. I click the box where it says "quick format" and click "OK" Finally, Whalla! There is connection! No more C:13:01 error! Please let me know if this works for you. Soli Deo Gloria! www.needgod.com

I have a dsc717 from 2002. It went all around the world and was great until Madrid 2004. Since then I have had this dreadful problem. I have tried Pc formatting the cards and quick format. The camera works fine indoors. However when i go out, this is not the case. Doesn't matter which of my five cards i use or if the weather is cold or hot outside, it fails to work. As soon as i am indoors the error disappears. I have checked the PINS and they are fine. Hence i believe it is a humidity/temperature problem(funnily enough i smoke 60 a day and this doesn't affect this piece of electronics) It is a shame that SONY have never acknowlegded this problem and it reoccurs with all newer models. Otherwise i would have recommended that their cameras are probably the best between amateur and pro. However their Vaios are the most overpriced crap which will not last longer than 12 months. I own 2 dead ones - never again. DO NOT BUY SONY

Hello, Exactly the same problem I faced.I have sandisk Memory stick Pro in my P73 Sony camera.Even my Sony laptop couldn't recognise memory stick. Then I cleaned the connector part of memory stick and formatted the stick using the camera and result is brilliant.Memory stick started working as earlier. Bhakta

I have a Sony DSC-F707 digital camera that gives a C:13:01 memory stick error when I put any one of my memory stick. Anyone have any ideas short of sending the camera to Sony.

Dear Friends I've got this error after my Cyber Shot DSC-M2 to fall in the soil. I can take the pictures as usual, but when I try to get movies this error appears. Here in Brazil, when I looked for the technical support to fix the problem, they say that need to wait about almost 3 months to get the Schema (or diagram) of the MSC-M2 from Sony. They also don't know if the problem can be with the mother board... Thanks in advance Denise

I have a Sony DSC-707, and I am having a similar problem but try to lock The memory stick and put it in your camera and unlock the memory I think it will be fine now. I made the same steps now its work. Many thanks

I have a sony camera as well and had pictured that i hadnt yet loaded into my computer. After getting a format error and being unable to view my pictures both on the camera and on the computer i downloaded a free program from download.com called "art plus digital recovery 2.3" I was able to recover almost all of my pictures. After that just use the camera to reformat the memory card. Good luck.
