Ferrari Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 (edited) i've been searching for a way to solve this, and i found that the common fix is to get better media. i'm using memorex disks right now, but i want to make sure this is the problem because a different pack of memorex i've bought before worked 3/5 times. around 50% of the burn, i get this error. this has happened on four disks now, , i've tried 2x, 4x, and 8x. I 13:09:16 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started! I 13:09:16 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 13:09:16 Total Physical Memory: 2,620,908 KB - Available: 1,841,144 KB I 13:09:16 Initialising SPTI...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Almost all errors are a problem between the drive/firmware/media combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Yet another reason I love this app. Awesome support! I am having the exact same problem but I am 99.999% sure its the media I'm trying to use. (memorex 8X DL) I'm going to pick up a different brand Monday, Verbatim more then likely. Thanks for the awesome support Lightning! P.S. for the record I'm using a Samsung Writemaster (TSSTcorpCD/DVDW) Just cleaned it and upgraded the firmware to SH-S182D Edited May 15, 2009 by Cami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean suggestions much appreciated. http://www.firmwarehq.com/getdownload_635-...D_SB07.exe.html double click ex follow instructions, or start ImgBurn and right click the description of your drive and choose check for firmware updates and download that way.. They both run the same. Take out any disc in tray and close tray and do not stop unless told to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diccon Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks, It seems that the firmware that I already have is the best one for my drive TSST Corp TS-H652M. I have been successfully burning using various media. Most recently have had a long run of success with Maxell, and all of a sudden I can't burn anything, just get the Power Calibration Area Error message. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the hardware's driver, but I just can't get ImgBurn to work anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Lol You're so lucky the flasher did not have a no check option in force. When you said I have tried upgrading to SH-S182D firmware, but don't know how to do it. I have the .bin file but what do I do with it? Clean suggestions much appreciated I assumed you owned and were using that drive.. It might have ended so very differently with you breaking your drive. Which I would have felt a little guilty about though tbh it would have been your responsibility So next time to save any confusion and embarrassment please post your own log and in your own thread about your particular problem.

Diccon Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 (edited) Well I misread the earlier post when the sender said that they had just upgraded to the new firmware, but yes I do feel a little silly. Sadly I still have the intractable problem with the Power Calibration Area Error Edited May 24, 2009 by Diccon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
