On my second time recording on a new Maxell DVD-R 8x disc it said that it could not record on it since the power calibration area was full. However, after ejecting the disc and inserting it once again, it recorded fine. My question is: If I continue recording on this disc will I be risking losing the contents on it? Thanks in advance.

Yes. The inability to write to the PCA is a sign of larger problems with the disc i.e. cheap or defective media.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
