guess.wye Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I own a Sony MZ-RH1 minidisc recorder and did a recording of a concert on a 1GB Hi-MD. this was a debut performance for my ensemble. Later on, I put in track divisions while using the battery in the recorder. what i did not notice was the battery was running low. after putting in all the track divisions, the recorder was displaying "SystemFILE WRITING". this process took a while and in the middle of it, the battery died. after reconnecting to the wall socket and subsequently the USB port, all i ever got when i inserted the disc is "format error disc". The machine seems to be unable to read that particular disc. I have tried inserting a blank disc and then trying again but to no avail. Have i lost all the data on the disc? could anyone suggest any ways to recover the data?thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A440 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Connecting via USB, using Windows Explorer, can you see data on the disc? Or is it empty? It's probably useless data thanks to Sony's stupid encryption, but if you have it you should save it somewhere--you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpsony Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 You should contact Sony's free data recovery service- maybe they can restore your recording... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 You should contact Sony's free data recovery service- maybe they can restore your recording...It's not free in the U.S. It's $45 a disc if they recover anything. Maybe they were using freebies to test their gear. http://www.sonymediaservices.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
