How to retrieve big files from T30????

[no00001jiw]

I bought a couple of T30s to enable recording of environmental noise through the line-in. Overnight recordings are over 600 MB, and will not transfer to my PC - "Lack of space" and "Unexpected data type" are the unmeaningful errors it generates. Is this something to do with the UMS thing (I don't understand the benefits/disadvantages of this), the FAT16, or just crap happening. It worked fine for small files.
Help, please. Should I change to UMS?
Thanks for your help.

Switching to UMS might help you.

UMS allows the T30 to be seen as just one more hard drive on your computer, so you could Explore it in My Computer and just drag-and-drop the files onto your desktop or wherever. You don't have to go through another program. (But be sure you have a fresh battery in there if you're transferring a big file so you don't run out of power partway through.)

Just to ask the obvious: is there 600MB available space on your computer?

And out of curiosity, what equipment are you using to record environmental sounds?

Thanks. I have 200 GB available on the drive, and 1 GB RAM. I'll convert one and do another test. Meanwhile, I'll play the file over. I'm recording through Type 1 and Type 2 sound pressure level meters (Larson Davis, Quest). I have been using a Zen Jukebox 3, but Creative has stopped supporting it, and it's getting long in the tooth. But it does a superb job for files up to 10 hours in length. You'll note that the iriver manual, page 67 cites approx 72 hours recording time. It's what they don't say that may count most!
