C:13:01 Disk Error on Sony Mavica FD-71 Possible Solutions
Deb - 9th Aug 2003 1:51
I received the Disk Error message on my Sony Mavica FD-71 digital camera tonight, so I searched the web to find some solutions. I found a few suggestions, so I took the camera apart but didn't take the actual disk drive apart. By the way, I had tried six different floppy disks in the camera--that all worked fine in my computer disk drive. I never took the time to reformat any of them using my computer.
I think one of the metal disk shutters (near the opening of the disk drive on the camera) was bent a little, so I straightened both of them. You can see the metal shutters--one on each side--after you push the black plastic door open with a small screwdriver or something. I used a small screwdriver and/or tweezers to straighten the metal shutters.
I was still getting a disk error message after doing this and after shining a flashlight inside the drive to see if there was anything else bent or some obstruction inside.
Then I decided to format (on my computer) one of the six disks I had tried in the camera (all said disk error when I tried them.) After I formatted the floppy disk, the camera worked fine. Then I inserted each of the other five disks into the camera, and the camera still worked fine, with no disk error messages.
Since I got some of my ideas from various places on the web, I thought I would post my experience with this, in case it might help others.

I have a Sony Mavica FD-85 and used it today and when my disk was full I changed it and it gave a clinking noise and then I got the C:13:01 FORMAT ERROR.
I did talk to a sony dealer and they said they never heard of this problem with a disk that had been formatted in the camera. It sounds like it should be a E: problem which requires service. Does anyone know how to fix this on their own? I would welcome any advice as I don't want to take it in for service as this would be a great difficultly for me.

Check out the message I posted a couple of months ago to see how I fixed this problem. The link is below.

Be sure to reformat one of your floppy disks (using your computer and floppy drive,) after you adjust the little metal tabs that are just inside the floppy disk opening on the camera--to make sure they are straight and not bent. If one of the tabs is bent a little, it can cause this error message on the camera. But my camera didn't start working again until after I reformatted a floppy disk on my computer and inserted it into the camera. Then the other floppy disks worked fine after that.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have the same problem, according to the manual if it is now a disk that was not formatted correctly, then it states the battery level of the Floppy Disk Adaptor for Memory Stick is low. But nowhere in book does it show where this other battery is? Or if we can fix on our own.

I got this same error. I looked inside the slot and everyhting seems fine. The tabs on both sides looked fine. I've tried newly-reformatted disks as well as disks that had pix previously taken/saved on this camera. I still can't get rid of the error message.

Hey, I have tried so many different approaches as to how to solve this error. I have a DSC-F707. I have 3 - 128mb memory sticks and 1 - 64mb memory stick, all Sony and all the sudden non of them were reading it would pop up the same error. I tried the ERASER, I tried messing with the little prongs inside the camara that touch the memory sticks, I tried inserting each memory stick rapidly for more than 10 times and nothing ever worked. My last resort was a post on page 4 at the bottom about someone that bangged the camara a bit out of frustration and fixed it. BANG THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR CAMARA!, in everywhich angle. The first 5 blows didnt do it so I tried different areas to bang the camara and after like 10 times hitting it medium and softly with my palm it finally started reading ALL the memory sticks. I formatted them quickly just incase, but I dont think that that was the problem with my camara. USE THIS ALTERNATIVE AS YOUR LAST IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY MONEY. I strongly recommend banging your camara to an extent that you dont break it if all else fails.

I have a similar problem -- have a disk from a Sony Mavica CD1000 that I can't get pictures from -- either on the camera or on my computer. Have taken many other CDs with the camera and never had a problem. Would really like to retrieve these pictures. Did you ever get any help?

I had the same Mavica 1301 disk error. Did everything suggested above. No luck. Took the camera apart - still no luck. Finally, I took a little screwdriver and stuck it inside the diskette opening and ROTATED THE LITTLE ARM THAT SPINS THE DISKETTE. That did it! You can see the plate rotate as you move the arm ... just make sure you move it around. I don't know if the rotating plate was stuck or what, but the camera worked fine after that. Good luck!

I had the same error on one of our city cameras, we bought 55 of them about 2 years ago, this is the first one that gave an error. these are fd200's. I tried the PC format, changing disks, etc.. no luck. Then I just bent those two tabs about a millimeter down and whalla, camera works again. The tabs appear to be the guides that allow the disk to come in. I just used a small screwdriver and just bent them in a little closer, not much. The error is gone. Can't believe bending the tabs did it but it did. Thanks so much for your help and advice.

Hi,
I have a sony mavica 85. I have been getting
the same formatting error code. I have tried
everything listed above I'm still having trouble
The 2 tabs that on each side of the disks opening
are bent but it looks to me like thats the way
it is suppose to be made???? I tried to straighten
them out but they don't bend.

Thanks Deb! I had the identical problem and used your suggestion and reformatted in the computer. Everything seems fine now! Thanks for taking the time to post the "fix"!

For anyone needing the instructions; it\'s really quite simple to format a floppy! Put the floppy in your drive. Then follow these instructions...
Go to your Desktop.
Double Click on "My Computer".
Right Click on the "3-1/2 Floppy (A)".
Click on "Format".
Click on "Start".
When it\'s finished (it takes only a few seconds) Click on "Close". >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Be VERY careful to be certain you click on Drive (A) and NOT Drive (C) otherwise you will format your entire hard drive. Hope this helps!

Looks like it must be a disk alignment problem. On mine, I found a little sticker that had fallen off a disk and was stuck in the very back of the drive. Took some patience to remove it, but once gone (and with a computer reformatted disk) the problem was solved. Look carefully for any foreign matter.
Thanks!

Anyone figure this out. My error is my own fault. My battery died as I was finalizing a CD and now I get this error. Can someone provide some advice on recovering the info off the CD? Greg
