I cannot burn DVD's anymore. Have used a whole box of these discs and all of a sudden they have stopped working. Have done a defrag and disk cleanup but still doesn't work. Have tried using nero also but get Cannot Perform End of Disc at once errors too! Very annoying! PLEASE HELP!!!! I have a feeling that something is running in the background but have gone through the list of running processes and they all seem like legitamate processes. I have attached log file for viewing Please Help!! :&

Try some other discs (Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden), at the moment your drive is just complaining because it can't figure out a decent power level for the laser that it can then use to burn with.

 

A cleaning disc might help too.

 

Oh and whilst I have your attention, update ImgBurn. The latest version is 2.3.2.0

WOW! Thanks for the super quick response! One more question....why should I try new media when the media I am using has worked fine for the last 20+ burns?

lol your media went from bad to worse!

 

Get some decent Verbatim (MCC dye) or Taiyo Yuden discs.

 

If it still fails with those, throw the drive in the bin.

:( Hoping you weren't going to say that. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will try that and get back to you if it doesn't work. While searching for help on Google I come across this and thought it was funny.

i think power calibration is a test that the burner does to work out what degree of power to give the laser to burn the disc .

Should the burner be unable to determine what level of power to use, it means it cant figure out the media thats in the burner.

as per above ,

 

1st change media

2nd use a disc cleaner

3rd change/bin the drive

4th follow the link in the post above =))
