jesst Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have a Sony Hi-MD Walkman MZ-RH910, and yes it is a few years old, but still works BUT today when i tried to listen to my 1GB disc it said that it can not read or play! I put in another disc and it was fine! I am scared that I have lost the information on my 1GB. Is there something that I can do to access it?? HELP! Thank you!!

kino170878 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Never trust digital media. You should have at least 2 copies of any important data.The 1gb discs were always less stable than standard minidiscs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A440 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 JessT, try putting the disc in the unit and connecting to SonicStage. Sometimes SonicStage can read the disc even if the unit can't.Otherwise, Sony Media Services at http://www.sonymediaservices.com/ may be able to recover the data, but it's expensive--$45 or so.

A440 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 I can't agree with you, wiz. I have had failures with both opaque and translucent Hi-MDs, from the total disaster of CANNOT READ error (though Sony Media Services got the data back!) to little skips in the middle of tracks that prevent uploading. I use the 1GB discs because they're so capacious, but I never entirely trust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesst Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 thank you for all the advice everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strungup Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 C'mon, I have well over three dozens Hi-MD's and have had no problems what so ever. Less stable than standard MD's is a little exaggerated.Wiz ,..... Tending to "Lean upon your own understanding " leads to Not being able to understand others . quite few have had problems with their Md's , your fortunate . Be thankful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcou Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 I have more than 100 hi-md, and 300 standard MD, on which I put music , video ( H264 encoded) , family photos, and work.Never lost one data with Sony's and TDK's discs, but had some problems with others like Hispace, Emtec...I've often lost datas on DVDs...Anyway, for very important datas (work , family photos), I always make doubble saving.
