Is it possible to rescue a rewritable? I was having trouble getting my DVDwriter to do sucessful burns. (Problem now solved, hopefully, after firmware upgrade and different brand of media.)
While I was experimenting, I got a rewritable disc, hoping to avoid throwing away duds until I sorted out what I was doing.
I tried burning an ISO backup from Shrink onto it, using DVDDecrypter, but the write process never got started. The system just kind of hung for half an hour until I got fed up and tried to stop it. Had to reboot in the end.
Now I have this rewritable disc which does nothing, appears to have no data on it, but won't even be recognised by my player, or any info tools I can find. DVDIdentifier just says 'incompatible medium installed'. Nero Infotool just says 'no disc'.
But it is a TDK DVD-RW 4x, so it should be a fairly good one.
Can't tell you any other media ID for the disc since info tools won't read it anymore.
Is there any way to wipe whatever is on it and get it back to a useable state?
