Hi all -
If anybody can help with this will be truly grateful.
Tried to record with the iRiver today and it shut down after just a few minutes. On thinking about it ,realised this happened earlier in the week as well, although at the time I attributed it to something else. So, thought, "Hmm.... maybe drive is full" - got it home, went to dump it and check and AAARGH it won't read from the "voice" directory in record (the default dir for all external mic recordings) - I get a "directory corrupt" error message. I smell a bigger problem ... WAHHH!!
I'm currently getting as much off it as I can, but I have some stuff in THAT (now inaccessible) record--->voice directory that I hadn't uploaded yet and would LOVE to recover but as yet can't. Also, the bigger problem is that, clearly, the unit CAN'T record until I figure out what's going on and find a workaround.
What now? As I say, I'm dumping as much as I can get OFF it onto my hard drive, but now what? Format? If so how? Or is there another something I need to do to recover functions even if it means losing data? I use this thing regularly and am gonna be heartbroken if it's toast.
Advice, oh gurus... Thanks in advice.
DM (trying not to panic)
Edited to add: I can access the existing files and play them on the iRiver itself, I just can't record (sob) or move existing files in the record>voice directory onto the computer.
