I think that many of us throw away many CD and DVD roms that got a bad burning and can't be used any more.

I have many DVD -r +r that went wrong and stuck in the middle/start of burning process. and are useless.
Is there any way to use them? to use the rest of the unused space that left? sometimes it is nearly the whole DVD rom.
maybe special software or trick. I don't care if what is burnt-will be destroyed.

If the disc was not finalized, then more data can be added to either a DVD-R or a DVD+R (the DVD+R will have a bit more success due to its "lossless linking" method of address systems.) However, there are several things to consider:
1) the disc must be written in the same drive that began the recording. If the disc/medium compatibility was a problem that caused the disc's failure, only a firmware upgrade would have a chance of improving recording quality.
2) If the error that caused a failed burn is a disc flaw, that flaw may prevent the disc from being read later on even if the rest of the disc were recorded properly.
3) the addition of data to a disc is only possible with a data disc that was left open as multi-session disc. A video disc already has information written to it that would prevent it from being read.
Although it is technically possible to write additional data to a failed disc, the likelihood is great that it will not be worth one's time and that the disc will remain illegible.

amircha- Or you could Use them for CLay Pidgeons While Skeet shooting ( PuLL - Blammmmmm!!!!!, Pull Blammmmm!!!! ect... ! . Seriously with the cost of media at Record lows for Decent media ! Why Would you want to Re-use a FluBBed Disc ? Other than perhaps saving landfill Space /Protecting the enviorment from more plastic ?Even if you can/could It would only Constantly remind you of your mistakes ! If it's a Not quite sure yet Of your abilities THing then maybe buy some RW ( Rewritable ) Disc DVD+RW or DVD-RW and start with those till you get the hang of things ? I'm not putting you down Buddy we all Flubb a disc now and again and especially if we're just starting out , But posting and reading afterdawn.com helps yourself and others and everyone can learn something from someone else as long as the Mind stays open !!!. If it is a Constant thing YOur drive Might be bad ( If it constantly makes coasters I mean } Whichever apllies my friend I wish you well & Hope I can Help out if just even in a small way ? Good luck & happy Burning !!!
