Different Power Calibration Error problem

It's the same error, but with a twist.


I have a "_NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD" i don't know much about it except it came with my computer.

I'm trying to burn a data disc.

I'm using Maxell discs. I tried using an older one which supports speeds of 1X 2.4X and 4X. I've also tried to use newer discs which also support 8x.

I've burned DVDs with the older discs before with Nero, Drag and drop, and iTunes.

Now, however, Nero gives me a power calibration error 3-4% into the burning process.

When I insert the blank disc Windows doesn't recognize it. It changes the drive name from "DVD/CD-RW Drive" to just "CD-Drive".

I bought a Maxell DVD Lens Cleaner but that didn't help.


HERES the twist: I burned a data DVD using iTunes. It doens't have the files I want, as it burned music to it, but it burned it nonetheless. I guess that means it's not a hardware/firmware/driver problem.



Any Ideas?

 

Could be and iTunes problem. I know the older versions wrecked every burning software known to man.

 

ok, but how would i go about fixing this problem?
both windows and nero worked alongside iTunes before, but i don't know if I've burned a DVD successfully after upgrading iTunes to the current version.
