Wanny Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) I hadn't noticed until now that I hadn't installed ImgBurn since I installed Windows 7... so I gave it a try and I'm having the infamous Power Calibration Area Error.

So it isn't that my drive "doesn't like" them. - After I cancel the 'Close Track/Session/Disc' thing, the disc still shows as empty. - I have the "Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance." message because I DO have Daemon Tools installed (as it can be seen, Drive 2 is the virtual unit. I'm using the HP one) - I tried burning with a lower speed, same problem. So I have 2 options: - Maybe the Duplex Secure's SPTD driver is indeed affecting the drive's performance, or... - The drive is busted. Help? UPDATE: I uninstalled Daemon Tools AND the SPTD driver. Guess it's time for a new drive Edited January 13, 2015 by Wanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Are the discs from the same batch/spindle? Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
