TL DR: floppy formatted in Sony Mavica FD7 camera works in camera but not in computer floppy formatted on Win10 machine works on computer but not in camera.Digital Camera Home > Digital Camera Reviews > Sony Digital Cameras > Sony MVC-FD97 My questions are: do you think my hunch is correct? Is there a way for me to maybe read the floppies using, like command prompts or something? (I would need step by step instructions but could figure it out from there.) I've never run a virtual machine or tried to use Linux so that would be a lot for me. Maybe related to the media descriptor byte - perhaps the Mavica doesn't write a media descriptor byte when taking photos? See this help page: I'm wondering if there's some kind of file incapatability between the Mavica (which is from 1997) and Windows 10. just not in every way you'd expect them to. I am using a previously unopened pack of floppies from 2006, which I originally thought was a good idea, but some stuff I'm reading seems to indicate that getting older floppies might have been a better idea. I can format the floppy on Windows AGAIN and get it to work on the computer BUT once it goes in the camera, disk error again. I believe the error message says something like, "A drive not accessible / The media cannot be read" or something like that. Or, sometimes a fresh disk works in the camera without reformatting and lets me take photos.īut then - I put that disk with the photos on it in my USB drive, that same disk that used to show up fine is now not able to be read. If I put the disk into the Mavica camera, sometimes it tells me "Disk error." If I see that, I reformat the disk and it works/lets me take photos. If I put one of the floppy disks into the drive before taking photos with the Mavica camera, my computer can recognize it and its storage. (Note: I'm using a new USB floppy drive on a Windows 10 machine.) I'm able to take photos fine with floppy disks but I cannot get my computer to read the floppies after I've taken the photos. So I purchased a Sony Mavica FD7 from Ebay. Hi, I recently went down the rabbit hole of vintage computer stuff and wanted to get a piece for myself.
