    How old is your Mavica? They have been known to have hard drive failures after extensive use.

    Three years. This camera has been bullet-proof and a wonderful tool for fast pictures to downloads.

    Mine is really picky about the discs it likes, try a different brand.

    I remember owning and using a Sony Mavica. Its been years, it worked fine and never had any problems that I can remember. Just got tired of carrying such a bulky camera after a couple of months.
