I opened a multisession Data CD recording to write a file of 14 mb on to a disc containing 112mb of data. During the burn process, I got the following error messages. Calibration area full Invalid write state could not perform end track Session fixation error Could not perform fixation and the burn process failed at 12x.

According to Nero help: More then that, there are hundreds of reasons, many of them related to physical CD-RW media and/or low maintenance of the CD-RW unit. Look if you belong to [bold]this[/bold] group: http://www.nero.com/en/content/helptool/475.htm#o475
