Is it possible to recover lost Hi-MD data?!

[thelyl]

I just got the MZ-RH1, and I'm a PC user, I have Sony VAIO.

It came with SonicStage 2.1 (etc).

I figured out transferring the files to my computer, I'm using the MD to record live shows.

I was recording a show my band just played, and it got to 99% of the transfer, and seemed to lock up.

I put my computer on standby, came back to it today, tried hitting transfer, it went to 70% right away, 30 seconds later it was done, and no data transferred, and somehow it looks like it erased the recording from the HI-MD disc.

This makes my head hurt.

I'm new to the forum, and to my new mini-disc recorder, and I'm pretty bummed about losing the show.

Is there any way to recover the data?

I've already resolved to consider it a learning error, I just downloaded SS 4.3, which solved my "why can't I make a CD and why can't I make WAV files issue..."

The only other issue I have is that it's SUPER slow when transferring the data. That should probably be another thread, but that's pretty annoying... along with the headphones it came with!!! You can't even set the darn thing on the table and listen to it!!! For a $300 device, you would think they could have added another foot on the phones.... such is life.

Any and all help/advice etc. is much appreciated.

Thanks!
