Title: [NJB3] - Recovering lost recordings?
Post by: t4oo6l on May 18, 2006, 11:50:51 AM
Hello again, here's my second njb3 problem in as many weeks.  I went to record Isis a week or so ago and had no problems with the openers, but before Isis came on I thought the crowd might get a bit rowdy so I used the lock button feature to prevent mishaps.  After the show, the recorder would NOT unlock no matter what I tried, thus, I couldn't save the file.  In the end I just chalked it up as a lost recording, my first, and sadly shut the jb3 down.  I know it would have been a killer recording, as the openers came out quite well.  Does anyone know of an easy way, or if it's even possible to retrieve the recording, if indeed there is a recording to retrieve.  There was nothing registered on the njb3's hard drive for the recording.  Maybe this is a moot point now, maybe not.  Thanks for any replies.

does the chkdsk /f work on the njb3?

sorry, but can you elaborate a bit more on that.

Open up a command prompt and type (without " ") "chkdsk /?" and it's going to tell you what it does. The "/f" option for example will fix errors on a drive. Basically, you go to X: (where "X" is the drive letter your mounted JB3 has) and then you run chkdsk as suggested by Weazel. After that you use a program that can work with .raw wave files so that you can re-write the .WAV header (if necessary, of course).
