Disable, not correct disk, the disk in drive is not formatted do you want to format it now.

Use a separate cardreader to download your pictures.

You cannot see contents if finalise is not done.

this camera is a gem! try finalizing the disc using nero burning software or any alternative. but dont try this on the disc that has your important pictures for safety reasons.

if you get a disc error, DO NOT TRY TO REPAIR the data.

When you get a disc error, turn the camera off, turn the camera back on. When prompted to repair the data, select NO.

The camera should prompt you to Format the disk, select no.

you should go back to a normal camera screen, at this point push the FINALIZE button on the outside of the camera to finalize the disc.

This is your only option to save the data.

Never try to repair the bad data, it never works.

I have done this on two occasions, and it worked both times.

the c:13:01 is the error code. I was researching this same thing on my camera. It 'magically' fixes itself after anywhere from 1 minute (turn off, count to 20 and turn back on)to 1 month later. This time, I lost photo-ops with my kids and their cousins. Apparently, this is a loose connector - see link- and you can fix it by 1) smacking your camera around a little (no joke, this knocks the connector back, for a little while or 2) sending it to Sony for repair (about $350) or 3) follow this guy's suggestions and fix yourself. I haven't lost any actual photos, except the first time when this happened. Since then, I've put the CD in the computer and I've been able to pull off the pics. Can't use the CD again though, even if it's not full. The camera must mark the CD somehow to avoid overlaying photos(?). Anyway, here's the link and good luck :) http://www.pechorin.com/m/2003/07/12/SONY_C1301_ERROR-202719-43.html

I had a similar problem, I was able to view the images on the camera but could not download them to my computer. I have an external cd drive, HP CD writer plus. This drive does not require me to finalize my CDs in order to download my pictures. With the damaged CD, I used a piece of software called BADCOPY to recovery the files(pictures) on the CD. I was able to recover all but one picture from the damaged CD. (I tried using the cd drive on my pc and the recovery software did not find anything, I had to use the external drive)

I've had some errors on my discs. What I've found is after you finalize them, if there is still room on the disc you can initialize then and use the empty space still on them. This can also fix some error, and I don't know why.
