anwa Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I played text recorded on a Sony MZ-B10 with an external microphone on a Sony MZ-R30. After inserting the disc, the player made a strange crackling sound, following which the display stated “blank disk”. Since then I can no longer access the information on the disc. I tried to play it on several different MD-players – to no avail. I also tried a trick recommended by a colleague who told me to insert another, working disk, eject it, and then insert the broken one. Through this I hoped that the player may reconstruct the disk’s table of contents, and give us access to the recorded material again. Unfortunately, this didn’t work either. The MZ-R30, where the problem first occurred, is no longer working without external power supply after the incident, even if one inserts an brand new storage battery. This may hint at a short circuit.Any idea what I could still try to rescue the recorded information? Thanx for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROMBUSTERS Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 unofrtunately in these situations if a damage TOC isnt quickly mended its almost always a lost hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skradgee Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 anwa,You may still be able to recover your recording. Look around minidisc.org & other sites for minidisc recovery and TOC cloning. You should be able to find information on how it works, and if you're lucky, someone who has the right kind of deck and can offer to recover the disc for you. Good luck.

Good luck.←normally true however it seems as though hes already tried to go through the TOC reconstruction by inserting it into another MD. any rewriting of the TOC will more than likely forever destroy any chance of getting it back. but do try because you may be the one in a million that it still actually works. good luck!

meyia Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 I had a similar problem, only the two MD players I've tried this disc in are both telling me that there is a "read error". I have very important audio on this disc, and I have no idea how to go about recovering the data...is it possible? I will certainly pay someone if they can help me out with this...

Tom92 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Help !!!!I recorded yesterday a very long interview of an ex Senator. This is hugely important. I'm an historien and this testimony is quite unique...Here's the problem. I recorded this interview on a blank 80 minutes MD in mono mode (the interview reaches approx. 160 minutes, in only one track). Recorder is Sony MZ-N710. Now this MD indicates "blank MD" when I try to read it, same thing on a Sharp MD deck MD-R2...I didn't do anything on this MD since I realized the problem. I understand I have to "clone" the TOC which has been probably badly edited, BUT I just can't figure exactely how to do it AND I can't take any risk of deleting the datas if I have any chance to recover it.What are the different solutions ? Does anyone know how to enter the service mode on Sharp deck MD-R2 ? Would that be useful ? Is there any other way to recever that datas ???Thanks so much if you any advice...Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
