I've personally used CDROLLER with good success on both RWCDR and
recovering data from a scratched CDR that the drive normally would
not read. The price is right and the folks are easy to deal with.

CD/DVDs are not magnetic and so harder to recover from. If the disk
was erased fully then the data is lost. The erasing process actually
zeros the data on the CD:

If the disk wasn't fully erased you might be able to get some data,
here are a few programs that may help, all are under $40 and I think
the isobuster is free download, but can't try it because I can't
download it at work.

Hey everybody,
I have an investigation involving a DVD-RW that has been erased,
but not
re-written.
I was wondering if erasing a DVD-RW is like formatting a harddrive
where
the data is easily recoverable, or if it actually overwrites the
data,
and, if it overwrites the data, are there any techniques to
restore it?
Thanks to all who can help!
