Re: No recovery for Hi-MD

I was was transfering a file over the weekend from my NH900 and had a
track that refused to transfer. I repeated the proceedure and again no
luck. So I played the track via sonic stage, and recorded the result
as it played via audition. There was a part of the recording at which
point the transfer failed and through which the play back would not go
through. By starting the playback as close to the 'break'as I could
get it, I managed to get probably all but 1 or 2 seconds recorded.
Nearly a problem in this case. Hope this helps.

Andrew.
