I'm attempting to burn a data DVD using Nero 7.0.8.2. I keep getting power calibration errors. Here's my log, hopefully someone can help me: * * Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.8.2 Internal Version: 7, 0, 8, 2 Recorder: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D>Version: 1.41 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.8.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2000kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

DMA needs to be on, heres a guide to turn back on http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 You are burning way too fast, slow to 4X You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
the reason you are getting power calibration error is you are using incompatible disc's, try using another sort of disc, I think you'll find it works. the disc's are usually the problem.
