i have been getting a lot of power calibration problems when trying to write dvds with this drive,i have noticed that these problems particularly appear after i have been using the drive to rip audio cds Even after rebooting the computer,nero gives me the power calibration error. However,i have found that if i shut down the pc and disconnect it from the mains for a couple of minutes,then reboot,the drive will record ok. Is this normal or due to a faulty drive? - please help before i return the damn thing back to where i got it from regards
Hi, Power calibration errors are most often caused by low-quality media and/or a sub-par drive. Here's a link that explains: http://www.nero.com/us/632181809668074.html That may not be such a bad idea. Optowrites don't exactly have a stellar reputation for quality and performance. With the Pioneer 107 (one of the best you can get) going for as little as $90 now there's no reason not to get one _X_X_X_X_X_[small] JMLS-166S/Plextor PX-708A/Plextor Premium My Movies! http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Rephaim[/small]
