Yes, it has been, and I've answered it so much that I was hoping someone else
would this time. No one has, unless there have been some posts where my copy
was lost, so I'll do it now.
| I erased 3 eight minute stereo tracks on a Sony MZ-R37 portable,
| resulting in a blank disc.
| I've not recorded anything on it since. I'm also getting a JVC XU-301
| deck soon.
| I'd appreciate any help you could give me on how to undelete them.
Once the TOC is saved after the deletion, the only means of recovery is to
write a TOC on another disc that includes every address on the entire disc in
an active track and, to clone that TOC to the disc where you made the unin-
tentional (or regretted) deletion, and then to reinsert track marks and
titles as needed.
TOC cloning methods have been found for most Sony decks and some Sharp
portables; check the MiniDisc Community Portal at www.minidisc.org under
"Hacking." Nobody has shared a method for any Sony portable nor any JVC
unit, though, so you may have to borrow a different MD recorder or visit
someone who owns one.
I think there are labs that deal with the recovery of data from Hard Drives
where the directory (TOC) has been wiped out. If the data is really precious
(and you're willing to pay the price), perhaps you can find a lab that would
do this for you.
