I'm using Imgburn and need to burn a boot disc so-to-speak for my xbox. Never had an issue burning to my Verbatims until now.

The file I need to burn is about 250mb and I need to burn it to only the first layer of a DL disc. The burn seems to work fine until the Finalizing stage and then it reports Power Calibration Area Errors and fails.

I blew through 2 DL discs last night with this and then burned a 7 or 8 GB game successfully. After the game burned successfully I restarted my computer, disabled IMAP, uninstalled STPD, and took a can of compressed air to inside the drive... rebooted again and tried reburning my 'boot disc' and got the same error.

Is Imgburn having a hard time finalizing so much empty space? Any ideas?

Like I said, using Verbatim DL's I got off the egg... not sure where they were made. Drive is a NEC ND-3650A

Try burning at a slower speed, or this

If that didnt help, consider trying the following steps (I haven?t test this, but some says it works)
- Disable IMAPI Service
- Launch Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services .
- Browse for ?IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service?, Right-click on it and select properties.
- Change Startup Type to Disabled.
- Go ahead and try recording your disc again.

This is supposedly an error generated when your laser cannot find the correct power to supply the laser to burn the media at.

The recommendation around the web is to use a different type of disc.

You may also want to experiment with another burning app, such as Clone CD.
