on yesterday my MP3-player fell on the ground (hard stone ground). The problem is that at that time i made a recording. Now i have a look on the files and detect that the recording is a zero byte file. So it seems that a 3 or 4 hour recoring is lost
I tried several tools:
PC Inspector
chkdsk
Smart Recovery
Smart flash recovery
EASUS Data recovery
MP3Diags
Music Recovery
without any success. From my point of view it should be possible to recover the data, because it was there during the recording. i think the data is still on the player but the file wasn't finished to have a readable proper one in the filesystem. I think it's fragmented stream or corrupted or something like that.
I'm guessing that the file structure on memory stick is similar to a hard drive. That is a table of contents pointing to the data. My guess is the table of contents became corrupted or damaged from the fall. You might want to try to treat it as a deleted file and run an undelete program.
