Hi, the problem is as follows, recently I cannot write CD's. The machine reports a "power calibration error". The machine is about 3 years old and has burnt a large number of discs successfully. I do not as a rule burn DVD's since most of the office machines around here have only CD drives.

The machine will burn 700MB re-writables without a problem but refuses to burn CD-ROMS. I have tried running at a reduced speed, but this does not seem to help.

I am using the same media as before (Maxell MQ 700MB 52X and SONY 700 MB 52X CDR's). The software I use to burn discs is CDBurnerXP and this I have used for the two years without any problems.

Can anyone help since I need to back up a whole lot of digital photographs and other data files.

BTW, Windows Media Player causes the same error when trying to copy a music disc.

Has the drive died or is this something else? Nothing else has changed on the machine, so I cannot understand the sudden problem

Thanks!
