Steve,
 
One other possible suggestion that I've seen work before is to try to link
up with someone (myself if you like) who has a different PTR1 or PTR2.  For
some reason I don't think that an error on one machine is always seen as an
error on another.  If this is your last option, it might save you an hour or
two - assuming that the audio you've recorded is not something you want to
keep too private.
 
It's certainly worked for me before now.
 
Are you UK or on the other side of the pond?
 
Jamie

Steve,
 
Because you are getting the error when you put the disc in, I'm not sure if
this will work or not but it's worth a try...
 
I've got a PTR2 so I might not have the exact menu names correct but, under
the Media Management menu, there should be an item called something like
"Search for edited information in the title".  If you try this and it works,
it should recover you back to the position of your last successful save or
shut down.  It can take some time to operate so don't try it without having
the mains connected and a cup of coffee at hand!!
 
Hope it works.
 
Cheers,
 
Jamie

Steve, this probably won't work, but try using a soft cloth and gently clean
the disk from the inside to the outside. Don't make circular motions. Hope
you get it back!

hi.
can anyone help? i have a ptr1 and i have been using it quite successfully
for ages.
i recorded some audio yesterday and when switching off the unit said,
improper or damaged disc. i was very annoyed as the disk already has about
10 hours of audio recorded on it. is there any chance of recovering the
audio or have i lost it. if i reload the disc i get the same message.
 
hope someone can help, smile.
 
steve.
