maybe your hard disk is damaged, if you do have access to another d1600 try transfering and see if it works, i had the d1600 for almost 3 years and never had a problem with the included 40gigs HD.

i had similar problem. It was caused, it seems, by overheating of the hard drive. I tend to work for hours on end.

I eventually bought another hard drive and have had no problems since then - approx three weeks ago.

I my situation the problem seemed to be down to hard drive malfuction.

If you let the drive cool down it should work for a short while.

cheers
