Default Restore CD-RW

Is there any utilities that will restore a CD-RW disk to like new status so
it can be used again. It's been formated with DirectCD.

The problem is that DirectCd won't access the Cd-Rw now after I tried
erasing it with Nero.

Sure. Just erase the CDRW. Compeletly.

Of course not. If you "erased" the CDRW then the formatting that DCD
uses is no longer there. You'd have to reformat the CDRW to use it
again with DCD.

It sounds like that's what he wants. If it isn't he isn't wording the
question very clearly.

Ignore my post, after re-reading I agree with NobodyMan. Sorry about that.

Worth trying but doubtfull.
DirectCd utilities may help to recover the
contents?
Samething happened to one of my disc
but did not work that way. Disc became
useless at the end.
