Can't erase tracks or format discs

[bgrizz]

I've searched everywhere for a solution to this problem, but I can't find anything.

The other day I plugged my MZ-RH910 into my computer and started up SonicStage to remove some tracks and add new ones. When I tried to remove the tracks it wouldn't do it. I can't remember the error now, but it basically said it was unable to delete the tracks, and SS basically froze up. I thought maybe it was the disc, so I tried a different disc, but the same thing happened. Then I tried reformatting. When I tried it using SS I got an error that says that it is unable to initialize media and get error code 0000662e. When I try to erase tracks or reformat using the player, it says "system file writing" but it never stops. Now when I plug it into the computer it says it can't read the disc. Even after all this, it is still able to play the tracks that are on the disc.

Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this? I called Sony, but they weren't able to help. They said I could send it in a it would take about $100 to fix.

P.S. now when I put in my second disc it says there is a disc format error.

Is the unit still able to record? E.g. from a PC or from an external source. Because, if not, then the magnetic overwrite head or its cable is broken.

Also, try a different type of disc (a 80-minute one instead of 1 Gb).

When I try to record it acts like it is recording until I stop the recording then it says "system file writing" and never stops. I guess I'll try to find a regular MD and try that.
