Help with Zoom H5

[Danuman]

Hey guys,

Over the weekend, I recorded a couple of bands with a brand new Zoom H5. It sounds brilliant, but the recording of the main event seems to have failed.

I recorded two bands (just under 4 hours) and the file is 0KB. When I stopped the recording I let the machine do all necessary thinking before shutting it off, but it still failed.
So far I've pieced together it might be something to do with an incorrect header, and that the recording might be recovered by importing it as raw data, but I just cannot get it to work.

Any ideas?

FYI I managed to salvage a good portion using PhotoRec/TestDisk 7.1. Chuffed to bits.
