My first Hi-MD playback & transfer glitch...grr

[smkranz]

Happy Friday.

I just recorded a live concert using my NH900 and connected to my PC to upload via SS 3.4. Four tracks. Walked away while the upload ran.

When I came back there was a message that an error occurred in the transfer. Only the first, and the last two tracks uploaded. The second track did not. Upon trying again, the Transfer status bar on SS immmediately jumped to 30%...then went slowly...until the same error message came back, and the track still didn't transfer.

I tried renaming it and removing it from its group...no dice.

So I started to play the track and record via USB and Total Recorder. All went well until about the 11:55 point (it's a 16 minute long track). Then playback just stopped, without an error message. After fiddling around and trying again a few times, I started moving the playback slider in Sonic Stage to various points *after* 11:55. If I tried to resume playback at any point before about 12:35, it would start playing again for a nanosecond, then stop again. But trying it at about 12:35, it resumed normal playback through the rest of the track.

I don't know how these things work internally, but this seems to suggest that either there is a bad "sector" (is that the right nomenclature?) on the disc or something else caused some sort of corruption in the data between 11:55 - 12:35 of the recording.

Any ideas? Should I toss the disc? I have used this particular Hi-MD as my primary "live recording" disc without problems in the past.

TIA...
