problems with cd writer
-
trying to back up all my files but alot of times when i tried to burn a cd, it tells me errors like Fixation errors then when i scrolled up for some, it tells me Power Calibration error .
i;ve tried many times with the same disc but when i tried with more discs from the stack of blank cd-r it still couldnt work.i only managed to burn data 4 times during which i tried repeatedly using ard 10+ cd-r discs.
some tries failed immediately, showing the errors mentioned abv yet some failed at the last minute, at 99% written.
i dunno wat went wrong as i reinstalled or updated the plextor drivers and the nero write software.
using imation cd-r 700MB
plextor s88tu
nero 5.5
using latest drivers for the software and cd writer...
anyone got ext dvd-burner to lend ?

I would rule out the disc having write errors. So the problem lies between the software and cd-writer hardware. Possibly a mismatch. First time I see power calibration error, this is for certain hardware being unable to work properly with the software. The cause of discs not writing properly, are most likely buffer underruns. Nero burning rom is currently at v6.6.0.0.

but i updated my firmware etc and watever not.. -
now there's a new prob
i have a blank cd-r disc inside and i am sure because windows ask me what to do with the blank cd-r
but nero asks me to insert the medium to write to as there is no medium in the writer.... -
Correct mah, whether its blank or not, windows autoplay will detect the cd and ask you what to do, unless you switch autoplay of course. So far I only know nero would prompt you to insert a medium in 3 instancesOriginally posted by bismarck:now there's a new prob

-because there is no medium inside the drive
-because what you are burning exceeds the space offered by the medium
-because there is a surface error on the medium and is unable to work properly -
first part i understand, expected it to happen .Originally posted by ditzy:Correct mah, whether its blank or not, windows autoplay will detect the cd and ask you what to do, unless you switch autoplay of course.

but the first 2 reasons arent likely and i tried with so many disks still like this.. -
Then I can only deduced that your cd-writer has literally failed on you.
