Hi Tazzriffic and  :welcome:

When you say you formatted with Nero are you using INCD packet writing programme?

If you download isobuster it will recover the contents of the disc.  I had a similar problem with a cd and was able to recover all the data on the disc. I got the same results as yourself when I interrogated the disc on drive. You might need the pro version of isobuster as the free one might not allow you to access the files if it was done with packet writing.
