My JVC HDD Everio 20gb 32x voom saves the videos files as a pp... I can't do anything with the videos, upload them to anywhere because of the file format, how do I get the camcorder to save the files as a well recognized file so I can upload them to youtube or something similiar. PLEASE HELP!

Can't help u much, however, I rec'd the "HDD error" msg as well. All I did (out of panic) was turn off computer, pull out battery, put battery back in and then it was fine again for viewing off camera.
Hope at least THAT helps!

Format the hard drive, one of the files on the hdd are corrupt, I had the same problem and I formatted the hard drive on my camera and the computer would read the camera again. It sucked though because I lost all my pictures in the process but that was the only way to get it to work. I had tried everything else before that.

SOURCE: My JVC Everio Camcoder keeps saying HDD Error!

reformat your hard drive. That way it will correct the error or flag it as a bad sector.

SOURCE: Playback on PC has no sound

Are you playing the video back through the camcorders utility ? Sometimes by clicking on the file through windows explorer you will get the picture but no sound, this happens for the Sony camcorder but is fixed by running the playback through the motion picture browser application supplied with the camcorder.

You should be able to find drivers here
