Trashed Recording

Hi. I just lost my first recording from my HiMD. Damn.

I'm using an NH900 with SillyStage 3.1. It was a very long recording (6hrs), and my computer crashed in the middle of the transfer. Not thinking about what I learned about SS 2.x transfers, and thinking that the days of trashed recordings were over, I rebooted, reconnected my MD, SS saw the recordings just fine, the transfer button was available and the icon on the recording tracks was correct (i.e. didn't look like it had been transferred). Within a minute SS showed my MD as blank and I unhooked the USB and checked the disc with my NH900... NO TRACK. Damn.

I know I should have transferred analogue after the crash, but I thought some of you may be able to sympathize anyhow.

Whenever working with technology you have to expect this to happen from time to time. It's a real drag, but Sony's files are too jumbled up in DRM for us to go in and clone a TOC or anything like that.

Where has my reply gone? I see a separate thread? Anyway, it belongs here. OK, I think I've removed the reason why it was separated, though the point still stands.

Somehow me must get a law in place which forbids Sony to make software...

I really don't understand how a multi-billion dollar company allows itself to mess things up so bad...

System Specs: P4 about 3 GHZ laptop. Win XP SP2, all the updates, SS 3.1, not much else running. It was a pretty standard transfer that I've done dozens of times before. The recording WAS there and listenable in between the crash and the second transfer attempt. (Like I said, I should have known better)
