"Disc Error" Diagnostic

[MasonDixon]

I'm sure this has been covered here somewhere, but rather than spend hours searching through the archive, I decided to post a question about it.

I just erased a functioning minidisc to BLANKDISK on my MZ R55. Alas when I tried to record to it a little while later the display came up with the " DISC ERR" diagnostic and halted. No efforts to reerase or record to the disk were successful. Other discs work fine, so it seems this one disc has the problem. Any way to rescue it?

Thanks,

Mason

Tut tut, that won't make you very popular.

It's probably best to try the minidisc in another recorder, something maybe less long in the tooth. If your recorder has just done it to one minidisc, I wouldn't worry though it's probably the disc at fault, just replace the disc it's not like you've lost precious irreplacable recordings, just a blank MD.
