7thPeer Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Greetings, I'm new here even though I've owned a few models since '04. Having said that, I recently upgraded to windows vista and now the computer won't recognize my MZ-NH1. I've tied re-installing sonic stage, I can't seem to find the exact driver but I don't know why this won't work. Can anyone here tell me where to find the driver? I've been to sony's site, but they don't have it there. I have a four hour car ride trip coming up next week and would like to take a few discs along. Help? Thanx, 7thPeer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Vista64 or Vista32? NetMD or HiMD? You will have NO luck with Vista64 and NetMD. However if the install didnt put the drivers for NetMD on your Vista32 install, we can help. Incidentally, if you use HiMD **mode** to store NetMD recordings you will get almost 2x as much space as with NetMD disks in native mode. If you are playing back with the NH1, this is no problem (regardless of 32 vs 64). Of course if your target is a car unit with MDLP, then my comment doesnt help you.

sfbp Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 You should be able to make disks in HiMD mode. Check that "disc mode" of the NH1 is set to HiMD. If it's set to NetMD you are definitely out of luck. So as long as these disks aren't for playback on some other unit you should be ok. I don't have either V64 or an NH1 so I can't try it. Try setting the disk mode and then putting in a blank disk and formatting it (using the NH1 itself). Now the formatted disk should show up when you plug the NH1 into the USB port. Nothing to do with SonicStage. You should see the disk as a mass storage device. Now start up SonicStage, and as long as the NH1 isn't called upon to switch modes (to NetMD) you should be ok. In addition if you use a 1GB disk there is no NetMD mode, so it should work straightaway without the formatting step. Let us know.
