Their could be several possible reasons and solutions for the above error, basically what is happening is for some reason the CD/DVD burning software is unable to determine the Optimum Power Calibration rate (a small pre-burn test to determine optimal laser power for writing), resulting a disk burn failure. There is no easy way to pinpoint the exact reason, so try all the possible fixes from top to bottom (easy to hard) and see what works:
* Try using different brands of quality blank media, most common reason forsuch error's is cheap blank media.
* Try burning at lower speeds (Highly effective).
* Disable IMAPI Service (Work's in most cases):
1. Launch Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services .
2. Browse for "IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service", Right-click on it and select properties.
3. Chnage Startup Type to Disabled.
4. Click Apply and Reboot.
* Try updating or changing your CD\DVD burning software to the latest version.
* Try upgrading your writer's firmware.
* If all the above fails the problem is definitely related to hardware and not software, Go ahead and get your burner laser lens cleaned by a professional.
* If all the above fails the drive's laser might have died and you need to get it replaced.
