Hi, I'm running NERO 7 on Windows XP with an AsusDRW-2014S1T . When i burn a dvd, and it starts to write, a session fixation erros comes up. I have already wasted a few DVD's on this. I tried to test it on another disc and it came up as power calibration error. Here's the NERO log for the session fixation error: NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.5.14.4 Internal Version: 7, 5, 14, 4 (Nero Express) Recorder: <ASUS DRW-2014S1T> Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.5.14.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Two things to check are the disks - switch to 'Verbatim' and the burning speed - change to 4x or the half the maximum listed on the package.
