DVD Writer Power Calibration Error

Comment:

I am trying to burn DVD-R discs at 4 and 2 speed, using my NEC DVD RW ND-2500A burner, but every now and again I get a message saying "power calibration error". This happens whether I use Ulead or Nero software. Then the next time I try to burn a disc it normally works okay. Does anybody know what the problem is and how I can get around this? Thanks

I too agree with ham30. I have a older ND 1000A which has given me similar errors with offbrand media. Try and stick with name brand media and you should be ok. ASUS A7V8X Athlon XP 2700+ @ 2.17ghz 768MB DDR 2700 nVidia 128mb FX 5200 WD 80gb SE NEC ND-3500AG DVD R/RW
