[linux-minidisc] Hi-MD, Format Error Disc, data recovery?


Hey there,

my name is Viktor, and I was told if anybody could help me with my problem, it's you guys...

Is there a way to recover seemingly lost data from a Hi-MD disc? The audio was recorded in Hi-LP mode (which probably means it can't I'm afraid, but you can't blame a guy for asking)... 
My Sony MZ-NH700 now always says "Format Error Disc" when I insert the respective disc. This started happening after I had unsuccessfully tried  to rename a folder in SonicStage (the recorder took forever, wouldn't stop displaying "Access", and finally I got an "Access Error").

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Best regards,
Viktor
