thank you. of course, this query suites better in the HiMD-forum. I got a reply from SONY: "In response to your enquiry, the audio on your disc will not be recoverable as there is no way to retrieve a raw audio stream; however the disc may be salvagable if you reformat it." but i reckon, there is a way, since my disc isn't really dead. I just have not the right tools. Bernd

G'day Mates! I posted this (don't know which devil rides me) already in NetMD.. I would like to try again here: I do sound recordings with microphone and sony MZ-NH700. At one recording the battery dies before the player could finish the TOC writing. After that, the whole HI-MD disc could not read and played anymore ("CANNOT RECORD OR PLAY"). The player prompted "WRITE AUDIO FILE?" and i confirmed. How do i get this file ? with simple windows-explorer access i cannot find any special file, and Sonicstage (and the player as well) shows no track in the listing, but my SHARP portable MD-player lists two tracks on this disc (the first track is a beep, the second is not playable as it is no HI-MD Player). Is it possible to grab the content of a disc anyhow (raw read..) ? or is there a way to modify the TOC manually, that maybe the whole disc is allocated by one track ? Maybe you've a docu about the "WRITE AUDIO FILE" functionality ? Is it possible to modify the data on disc like a FAT filesystem anyhow ? well, please help me with that. Thanx a lot ! Bernd
