SOURCE: I am getting a message 'HDD error" on my sony

Hi,

This error may occur if data becomes corrupt on the camera hard disk drive. To resolve this issue, it will be necessary to format the hard disk drive and reset the camera to factory specifications.
You can select the Format option from the Manage HDD/Memory Menu.
Home Menu-->Manage HDD/Memory-->FORMAT. The Format screen appears, select YES button. Once you finish Formatting, press and hold the BACKLIGHT button for a few seconds which will give an option to EMPTY the Hard Disk.
Make sure that you've taken the backup of the files before formatting.
Connect the Camcorder to the Computer and copy the files from the Removable Drive to the Computer Hard Disk.
Performing the recommendations above should resolve the issue. If you have completed all of the recommendations and the issue is not resolved, service may be required.

Thanks for contacting FixYa.

Hi there, I want to record my son's graduation this week but my SONY HDAVCHD Handycam Model # CMDS Hybrid HDD keeps on showing a message "HD movie area in HDD is full" . I have deleted all...

Hi Antony,


Firstly please check if the source for recording is the inbuilt space of hdd or the memory card.

If it's hdd which is selected as source for the recording , then may be you have deleted files from the memory card and not hdd and if it's the memory card that has been selected , then may be you have deleted files from your hdd and not from the card, which makes the camera show up this message.


It's always better to restart the camera after you have deleted a huge amount of files , as it would auto refresh and calculate the free space appopriately.

If you have any specfic queries , further , feel free to ask.


Hope this helps ..:) Your feedback would be appreciated.
