OK i see all the re formatting suggestions and i have the same reinsert memory stick / 1301 error but wont reformatting erase the pics were trying to retrieve? someone let me know because i have pics to retrieve too. thanks.

I just had this. I removed the memory stick from the camera and inserted it into a card reader. My PC was able to read it fine. I then copied the pictures off the card and into a temp folder on my PC. I properly ejected the memory stick volume from my PC (right click the disk that is the memory reader in click EJECT) and then physically pulled the memory stick out of the card reader. I then put it back into the camera and it works fine. Very odd.

how to solution C:13:01 ERROR

hello i had this error when i put in a new 16gb memory stick pro duo mark2

hey i have a sony fd mavica mvc-fd200 and the max memory size is 128mb if you put a bigger stick it will say error 13.01......so check max memory size for you camera model....

I have the Sony DSC-P51. It just started giving me the "format error C:13:01" message. It only happened with one of my memory sticks. I managed to fix by reformatting the memory stick in the camera menu. To do this: first, turn the knob to the "set-up" setting. Then press the down arrow once to get to "Set-up 1". Then press the right arrow to get to "format". Then right again and the "OK" or "Cancel" fields will appear. Press scroll up in order to highlight "OK" and then click the dot in the center of the arrows. It will ask you if you want to proceed and erase all data on the memory stick. Say yes and it will reformat the memory stick. It worked for me - hope it works for you!
