hello, I started on Hi-MD last otober, and since then have a disc which evokes "disc error" - the only option presented is to reformat, but I do not want to lose a lot of live recording on there; further to this, last friday a disc i was listening to a lot, also including live recording + photos, - just as i finished addinfg some more photos, when next i tried to play gave a "cannot record or play" message, and has done so ever since. -however, this 2nd one atleast seems to be read by the pc when connected; if possible I would atleast download it to a pc, but then again should I hold off till I can get SonicStage 3.4?? in general, is there any way of retrieviving data from a HI-MD when it acts like these 2 above? thanx very much.. I'm wondering why this may happen; it's shredding the confidence I had in this new MD just as I was coming to rely on it, as I am travelling around a lot [but if anyone is wondering, the discs etc are well looked after]. - and I guess others may have experienced this? -Deep.
