1. cameras don't have hard drives. it's probably a problem with the hardware. and those are mini-CD's
2. This is one of the earliest Sony digital cameras that uses regular 3.5" floppy disks. Try formatting other disks in the camera - do you get the same error message? I also suggest formatting the disk with your computer to rule out the possibility that you have some bad disks. If the problem is not with the disks, then the problem is most likely with the disk drive in the camera. You'll probably need to contact Sony for repairs....or it's time for a new camera.
3. Hi, I recommand you to try google picasa. picasa is a Google's photo software. It's what should've come with your camera. It can Edit , organise and Share you picture and small video flips. It's very easy to use and is free, just like Google Download it free in here: http://www.bernanke.cn/google-picasa/ Good Luck and Best Wishes!
4. I say you just go buy another camera with all the money you have or ask for one for your birthday.
