imak Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Hello,A sad story.a) I was absent, without asking me my brother formatted the HD of our second laptop, c) he copied our recordings (135 tracks) on a external Hd, unfortunately not with the SS backup tool,d) Now Invalid management rights........Please can anyone help me recover them? HimdRenderer cannot convert them now. They are our recordings, recorded with a mic. Can Sony decrypt them for us?If someone can help, (and don't want to do it in public) please send me a personal email at imkkth@[in.gr] (Please remove brackets).Thank you very much.Kind Regards,Ioannis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killroy Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Oh, "Malaka"!If your brother made a type of backup of the HDD (e.g. disc image) that allows you to restore it so far that the old versions of Windows and SonicStage could be launched again, then you might have a small chance. Also, if nothing has been written yet to the HDD after the format, some unformatting/undeleting tools might be able to restore it. - otherwise there are no known means to recover your SonicStage library by now.WARNING: If you happen to have some of your recordings still available on MiniDiscs itself, never even try to upload them again with a version of SonicStage older than 3.2, or you will loose them for eternity. Older SonicStages will delete already uploaded tracks without prior warning from the disc instead of uploading them again! SS 3.2 or 3.3 will not upload again tracks that have already been uploaded with an older version too, but at least they won't delete them either.Cheers and good luck - Killroy.

imak Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I found the folder <Sony shared> with all the contents intact, replaced the procfile, omgrights, omgkey folders and reimport the tracks.Right now I don't get the message Invalid management rights, if I look at the track's properties reports <Playback restrictions: none> and <Remaining playback count: Unlimited>But... still the tracks are not playable, I click on them but nothing happens and no message appears, good or bad one.Any advanced help please ?Waiting for your kind help,Ioannis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
