Buschbanker Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Dear Members, I have a big Problem. Please help. I recorded several Interviews on my 10 year old mini-disk player. Now I did obviously overwrite one of them. Is there any chance to recover, whats underneath? It would be great, to get a positive answer. I cant do the Interview again. Thanks a lot Johannes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippeb Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 If the overwritten track duration was longer than the new track written over it, then TOC cloning may restore the end of the original track. For example if the original track was 10mn long, and you have overwritten it with a 7mn long new track, then TOC cloning may give you access to the last 3mn of the original track. The first 7mn of the original track cannot be recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimma Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 If on the other hand you just erased the disc rather than actually recording over on it, a TOC clone should allow you to recover all of the erased material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfbp Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Sorry to split hairs but I would prefer to un-confuse OP, Jimma. The DISK never gets erased. However if you erased the Table Of Contents (TOC) so that recorders/decks say "Blank Disk" when you insert it, you should be ok, which is what Jimma is saying. However you guys missed something. We need to know the model number of the MD machine. Chances are it's "legacy" MD, rather than Hi-MD. If the latter, only big bucks to Sony will get the data back, and maybe not even then.
