CD-RW problem
I recently installed a new CD-RW Optirite (LG) burner in a new PC
PC Chips M810
Duron 1.3
40 gig Maxtor
256 PC 133 ram
LG DVD drive
Optirite (LG) 52-24-52 CD-RW
Nero 5.0
The CD-RW works fine as a CD reader but when you attempt to burn a disk, either cd to cd or from a file, it stops with the error messages "Session Fixation error or Power Calibration error". I have attempted to configure the drive via Nero directions i.e. drive speed etc.
The software cd troubleshooter does not refer to either of these error messages. Have emailed Nero with no return after 3 weeks, LG refers me to the software provider. HELP!
What is a FIXATION ERROR?
POWER CALIBRATION ERROR?
****, I wish there some standard nomenclature in this industry.

Yep, I agree with BpB.. A calibration error always(?) means that the laser cannot come up to the necessary power level to burn the disk. A calibration is performed each time a disk is to be burned to set up the power level needed to burn that particular disk. This is done on a special calibration track in the center of the disk... either that drive you have cannot find the calibration track, or cannot perform a calibration burn... or both.
Fixation error??... no clue.

This error message generally appears for one of the following reasons.
You have written on the CD several times and deleted it.
Please use new CD-Rs
it is possible that the APM (Energy saving mode) causes this error.
Please deactivate the energy saving mode.
Or one of the causes listed below Track following error is present.

Thanks for the web pages. I solved the problem, actually 2 diff. ones. First off the power supply was marginal and the writer put it over the edge. New larger power supply corrected initial problem...The other problem was non-compatible record disks, CDRW. The new high speed recorders seem to be really picky about quality disks even at lower record speeds.

Session fixation Error only
I'm using and old TDK 16/10/40x and tried to burn to a 24x blank
and got the, "session fixation error" code. So I read what causes this and figured to solve it by changing the write speed to start at something lower and guess what, it work, it got the session fixation. Go figure, huh. I was tring to start at 16 and it just would not start at that speed so I started at 8.
