Dvd Burn Error : The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media

[Custidio]

Hi,

Today when I was burning dvd, using Disk Utility, everything went well but at the end, I got the error message, "The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media" What does it mean ??? Why so ???

Is this a Mac running OSX? Or is it a windows machine? In any case, when burning a CD, the system needs to adjust the laser output to the media. There may be a fault on the drive that is causing this problem from occurring. I have two burners in my system ATA IDE controller, the other the slave. I burn DVD's in each unit, but only the captain seems to refer to the laser calibration required for CD burning, so use one for CD's and one for DVD.

Clean the unit some users have encountered this problem to arise if the unit has accumulated dirt and dust on the lens optics and other mechanisms of the unit, and have been able to restore functionality of cleaning the unit. There are drive cleaning kits and cans of compressed air that can be used to gently remove dust and other foreign particles from the unit.
