When I try to write to my DVD+R/RW drive, I get the error message 'Power Calibration Error' and the drive seizes up. Can anyone explain this, please?

Have you just started using a different make of DVD Gill ?
I have found this which may be the cause of your problem :

Thanks guys - very useful links. I suspect the root of the problem is that the type of blank DVD+R I'm using is a cheap 'budget' one from
www.BigPockets.co.uk
. I think they only cost about 21p each (I'm such a skinflint)! I've never had problems with these discs before, but I've just browsed the website and it would appear that they are no longer available.
As a matter of interest, what cheap and reliable blank DVD+Rs do other members use?

The last ones I got were Datawrite Classic Grey Label 8x DVD - R from :
www.ebuyer.com
I think they worked out at around £7 inc vat and postage for 25 so they were a little dearer than yours but no failures yet
