Cynthia Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum, xrofl! Have you been able to write with that media before with success? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrofl Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hi, thanks. Umm yes I'm pretty sure I used some way in the past, but I dont think it was with ImgBurn. I rarely even use the comp./ burn things, so I'm not really experienced =/ Thanks Btw the brand is Maxell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Most times the error "Power Calibration Area Error" is either that the writer could need a cleaning or it's on it's way to the dumpster or that the media in use is not liked by the writer.

xrofl Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Hmm, okay. What product do I use to clean the drive? Would they sell at Wal-Mart? And is there any way to check which discs my burner likes/dislikes? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I would try with some Verbatims. Disc cleaners (a disc with some alcohol) should be sold at most places that sells radios and tvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
