Help! Tracks Deleted In Himd

[ddwhelan]

I have just discovered that some tracks recorded in HiMd LP format have 'disappeared' from my mini disc. The only explanations I can come up with are:

- I changed the recording settings on my MD player from HiMD LP to normal (so that older MD players could play the tracks) but then changed the settings back to HiMD LP a few hours later. This was all done with the mini disc in the machine but no recordings took place in the interim, however I have since recorded new interviews onto the disc and the older tracks have disappeared - wld this be my problem?

- or, I have been trying to upload tracks onto sonicstage and have been having difficulties and had to try a few times - is it possible that it wld have deleted the old tracks on the disc?

Either way it seems the old tracks are gone.....but is there any way at all to recover them???

PLEASE HELP!!!!

As Hi-MDs do not have the "end search" function, it's doubtful that your recording additional tracks overwrote the earlier ones.

You can only upload ONCE with Hi-MD. If you try again, SS deletes the tracks.

And no, there is [currently] no way to recover your tracks. Chances are, if you recorded on the disc after trying to upload them a second time [hence erasing them], you've overwritten the data on the disc anyway - meaning even if recovery tools existed, you wouldn't likely have anything to recover.

Please readcheck out the upload FAQ in the Hi-MD "Essential info and FAQs" forum.
