<p>Hi
I'm a novice recorder and was using my Zoom H1 for the first time yesterday. I can't find the first meeting I recorded with it (omg) but I can find another longer meeting. I had pushed the record button and saw the red light, but even after plugging the thing into my computer, that first file is nowhere. I didn't delete it - where might it be? THANKS to all who write back!!!</p>

<p>You have to press the record button twice.</p>
<p>When you press it once, it goes into record ready mode and flashes red.</p>
<p>Press it twice, and it actually records...</p>
<p>That might be what happened and would explain the missing file.</p>

If you saw the red light (and the counter running), it was recording.</p>
<p>I have had a similar issue once with my H1, where after a series of recordings in recorder-unfriendly conditions (taped to the back of a car), one file became corrupt and the next one was missing.
I tried one of those drive rescue programs to see if the data was still on the memory card, but to no avail.</p>
<p>I'm guessing it happend because somehow the device switched off before it could write the latest recording to the card.</p>
