I recently had a DVD+RW for recovery. It was from a camcorder and had probably been reformatted.
On initial examination the start of the disk was OK, but the majority was blank, ie all the sectors were filled with zeros. I could read the sectors and no error messages were displayed. Every indication was that the disk had been blanked, as if thee had been a full format.
When the disk was examined on hardware designed to read blank disks it was very interesting that the disk was not blank. There was a significant amount of video still on the disk and CnW software did a recovery, and then generated a new video disk.
The concern is that standard hardware gave every indication that the disk was blank - so do not rely on standardard hardware if there is a possibility that the data may actually still exist. CnW Recovery services will always assist anyone with such possible disks.
