Re: [disklavier] Loss of recordings on Yamaha Disklavier DKC55rdc

2014-02-07 by Spencer Chase

hard to imagine an OS that could be so badly written as to scramble the 
disc directory but this could have happened? personally, i would remove 
the drive and try to read it in computer. data recovery is usually 
possible even if the directory is missing or scrambled. having it 
recovered professionally is expensive but there are programs that you 
can buy to do it yourself.
