Ah, you know her too? What a b**** 😉

Ok, polarity, I stand corrected.
Anyway, to me it would make sense. More than polarity switches on the inputs for my applications.

An old topic actually. Would love it too as I do not take the mixer home. Unfortunately it seems that A&H does not have it on the list.

Happy to say I got all of the files back.

Anyway, seems as if you should not do [chkdisk /f] to your drive, as this made all files disappear – including the ones that had not been corrupted before.

I finally got them back with a recovery tool (Photo Rescue in my case, but I suppose others will do fine too).
PR recreates and saves FILExxxx.CHK files to any desired destination that can be imported and fixed in Audacity as described in the Article.

I did not give another disk image a try though. Worked directly from the USB drive as PR leaves the original data untouched and does no writing to the USB drive.

Is there a suggestion what to to on a win8/win8.1 machine? Maybe the fixing of the file system even can be omitted when using some rescue software. But I don’t think I am willing to try this out… 😉

Thanks Bob,
I will give it a try next week when I’m back from holiday. I had tried it on an image created with clonezilla, but somehow the scans show no useable result on the image. On the original stick they do.

Hi everyone,

seems this happened to me after a power loss (my mistake, i confess…)
Anyway, I wanted to try the recovery procedure, but Win8.1 does not offer a way to uncheck the “recovery of bad sections” option. Actually it’s not there at all as all you can do is “scan and repair”. So – no risk no fun – i ran a [chkdsk /f] command.
The result is that all files from the USBMTK folder are gone now… not really, as Windows still shows the used space on the drive.
Photo Rescue Pro also can find them, but I did not give it a try to let it recover these.

Does anyone have an idea how i could get the files back without causing even more damage? Try to find a win7 machine? Or should I just give up and forget about it?

Cheers
Georg

From 1.6 (I think) on and higher the Qu is reporting write errors on the Qu-drive, maybe this helps to identify the issue you have with recording. Otherwise, you should give it a try with a re-formatted drive as mentioned – or try a different one. I have a Sandisk Extreme USB3.0 32GB drive that is working without problems.

Put the update file directly into f:\
It takes only a few minutes but do you should not do it immediately before a show…
Turn off or disconnect amplifiers and powered speakers!

All the best,
Georg
