This is an old thread, I know. But, there is a solution and it works.

So, this is for anyone who finds this thread and has lost a recording due to removing power from a Zoom [H2 or any other] recorder without stopping the recording first.

The program is called TestDisk & PhotoRec. And it’s GNU software license, meaning it’s free. But works on a donation process. So, please donate – if you can! I did!

Here is the site:

It recovered my recording (MP3 VBR) automatically without having to do or tell the code anything. It’s very clever, and will automatically be able to find the data file and know that its header/chunk data when it’s save properly is missing and so therefore must be the file that needs recovering.

 

I used the Windows 64bit version. No need to install anything, just extract program files and run the program.

 

Enjoy! 👍😊
