Somewhere I have directions for replacing the TOC on a regular MD; no
idea if it would work on Hi-MD.
But, the benefit of your experience goes to other users of MD and Hi-
MD: Transfer to the computer first, and then rename the files. That
is what I do with all portable drives, MD or CF or firewire or HD24.
Make a folder so you know where it is, transfer immediately, then
rename.
It is safer that way for all media, but MD is possibly the most
fragile as the mechanism is designed for recording and playing, not
for random access and file naming. It also leaves you with the
original on the MD in case of problems IN the computer...
That said, I hope someone has a solution. My method involves making a
ToC that indicates a full disc, then replacing the ToC on the damaged
disc so you can upload it entire... Usually it is only the ToC that
gets damaged and the files are fine.
Best luck,
Lou
