i have a dsc-v1 and had this error. i tried the eraser trick. no luck. i tried turning it on and off. i tried reinserting. i tried reformatting but still just got the error. finally put the memory stick in my printer/fax/scanner/copier machine and got the pictures off. that was a few weeks ago. i was pretty bummed cause i missed christmas picture opportunities so started looking on here again. it works now. what was the trick? gently pounding it against my palm!!! so, the poster that said to BANG THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR CAMERA was soooo right. it only took one gentle hit in my hand and voila! no error message! yea!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
