I have a CD-500 with a couple of CD-RWs that have this C:13:01 error. The conventional wisdom with the floppies and even the memory sticks is to format them on a PC. How do I format a CD-RW on a PC. Actually I have a Mac, but I'm sure I can scare up a friend with a PC if that's what I need to use (have a PC at work, but no CD burner).

Hi, i have the same proble can any one share the solution for the problem.

i'm getting the error message...how do i save the data on my memory stick before i reformat it?

HELP

I am joining this chorus of problems with the C:13:01 Errors. I, too, have lost the very best photos ever, to this irritating problem. I had a Sony CD Mavica 400, and it punked out on me while overseas with this awful error. The shop I where I bought it told me it was cheaper to buy a new Sony CD Mavica 400 than to even have mine looked at...$250 just to look at the camera, and at least that much to repair it. I relented and just bought a new Sony CD Mavica 500. Guess what? The same error message appeared on the third disc I used...I've had it with Sony Mavica. I'm taking it back and getting back my money. Can any of you (1) Recommend any recovery software for my CD; and (2) recommend a better, more dependable digital camera?

Thank you MC Escher. Worked for me. Thank you for posting these instructions and for saving my camera. Thank you God! ff

same problem with new dsc-p32.. had camera about 45 days and then all the sudden memory stock error... the memory stick works fine in my other 2 sony cams but no other sticks work in this camera now.. i called sony she said rest the camera but does not work either. She said take it to nearest auth sony center which 380 miles away in California... I am also past my 30 day return so now im screwed.. sony will not even acknowledge this problem on there web site either.. i told her to make sure she notes that in her report that they should at least acknowldge this as a know problem or defect.. this stinks!
