I use an iHP-120 w/ RockBox. I seem to be only able to get 12 minutes of my recording off my iRiver and on to any harddrive. The full file plays fine on the iRiver.
FixWav did nothing. Running a checkdisk or doing a defrag freezes when it reaches that file. If I go to drop the file directly off the iRiver into any audio editing programme it causes the programme to freeze. The best I could do was convert it straight into .flac which is where I salvaged those 12 minutes.
This is a pretty damn important recording and is the only one from that night that I REALLY need. So help would be muchly appreciated. And this has happened before but I've just thought "Who cares" previously but now I'm beginning to get a bit fed up with it.

Can't help with recovering the file, but before you start messing around trying to recover it, plug the headphone port of the iRiver into your sound card and record a backup copy that way. If something you do trying to recover the file screws it up, it'll be better than nothing.

Try copying the file using this: http://www.jfilerecovery.com/

If the file plays back on the iRiver just fine all you need to do is find a recorder (or sound card) with an Optical SP/DiF input an do a real-time transfer.

This worked. Thank you so much for your help. I know 2 threads in 2 days isn't good form.

Hey guys. I'm having another problem.
I lent my iRiver to a friend and when it was given back they had some how chewed up 20 hours worth of battery on it, so the battery ran out during the show, is there anyway to salvage this? I seem to be able to put it into SoundForge and get the waveforms but it won't do anything past that, as soon as I hit play it crashes and it won't play on the iRiver it self.

first do a chkdsk /f on the drive to fix the filesystem, then import the file as raw 16bit 44KHz
