solution to POWER CALIBRATION ERROR

Try writing at a lower speed like..........8x-16x and see. I had an Samsung CD-RW, it also had this same problem.

Samsung CD-RW, I had one too, some 252F or something, it hardly lasted a month.

Its most likely your drive is dying, lest you burn only at 4x-8x, 16x is fault prone too. Dump it and get a better drive than waste more on media.

damn it
throw that fuc#### drive away
i too had samsung sw252f
it also gave me same power calibration error
i couldnt find a fix so i stopped burning from it

i got a liteon 5236v combo for 1100 bucks & it rocks
it burns flawlessly even at 52x get it now if you are a serious burner

Type Services.msc at Start->Run
Search for and double click on the IMAPI Cd burning COM Service. Change its startup type to Disabled.
Restart the computer and try writing again
