khughes Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Hi,I'm using Sonic Stage 3, just uploaded a few weeks ago. I upgraded because of warnings in this forum of previous versions of SS randomly trashing uploads.But Sonic Stage 3 crashed while I was uploading recordings, and it trashed the whole disc: "format error disc." I read what I could find about that here in the forum, and the only recommendation seemed to be to re-format the disc, which, as I expected, erased all the data on it. What kind of useless software *is* this? Is there anything I can do to protect myself from losing four hours of important rehearsal recordings again? Should I have done something different when I got "format disc error?" I don't see that there's any way I can stop Sony's crap software from crashing if it wants to. But I thought the whole point of upgrading to SS 3 was that it *didn't* crash, and trash recordings. Arrrgh.Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.thanks,k.

mmilovan Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 not so fast it could have been the computer or another program taking it out and not SS's faulty codeWhat kind of PC are you running?←It's Athlon 1.2 GHz, 384 MB, Quantum AS 7200 rpm, Chaintech MB VIA based, than Win XP, and I must say I'm not happy for all those bugs connected with this potentioaly perfect SONY's device. To my eyes, theirs products always were connected with quality... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankiekp Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) I have a follow up question on the same topic. I just bought a Sony MZ-RH10 (its my third Sony MD player since 99). I recently recorded a concert in Hi-MD mode and it came out great. When I went to transfer it to my PC via SonicStage, something went screwy and the disc won't play. I don't understand how this happened because right after i tried (unsucessfully) to transfer the recent audio i recorded I popped an older minidisc (with a previously recorded concert into the MZ-RH10 and tried to transfer that audio. That didn't work either so I put the new MD with the new recording back into the MZ-RH10 and got the "format error disc" message. The older minidisc with the older concert was fine -- no damage. The new one wont play at all. The unit keeps asking me to erase what on it so i can reformat the disc. I have read a few threads that say I'm basically out of luck. Sony told me the same thing. However, I was wondering if anyone knows of any services that specialize in recovery of audio files such as these. This is a recording of a one-time event, and I would like to retrieve it if possible. It seems rather rediculous that I would lose the entire show for basically no good reason and Sony is insisting the unit us functioning properly. None of my previous MD recorders worked this way. If anyone has any thoughts, please drop me a line at frankiekp@yahoo.comthanks --Chris-- Edited February 27, 2006 by frankiekp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbow69 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Quite honestly, it looks like the data has become corrupt on the HiMD disc. I have a feeling that it is the result of the higher denisty technology that is the root of this problem.I think the lesson here for all of us is to keep recordings on unformatted 74/80min MD's instead of 1GB HiMD's.
