Question: Why does the software keep generating a "Power Calibration" or "CD Fixation" error? Answer: CD-R discs have a section outside the standard recording area called the Program Calibration Area (PCA), which is used to adjust the laser for the brand of media you're using. A CD fixation error means that the laser does not have the ability to close the session anymore. It also means that when the laser is trying to calibrate (power calibration) itself, the calibration is not balanced - it is failing and that is why the laser cannot close the entire disk. The error indicates that the CD-R drive is having trouble calibrating the power setting. Try different brands of media, and if that doesn't work you should have the drive checked by a repair facility.
