DVD Burn Error with DVD Shrink & Nero

I need help, and am getting really dirty:mad: When executing DVD Shrink all goes well until the burn phase, the same can be said for Nero and when burning music cd's. The following message is recieved for DVD Shrink: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0001), size=45056 bytes, created 6/05/2002 11:01:14 AM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 2/11/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 6.6.1.15 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 15 Recorder: <HP DVD Writer 300n> Version: 3.10 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.1.15 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y120L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HP DVD Writer 300n atapi Port 3 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : IDE-DVD ROM 16x atapi Port 3 ID 1 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HP DVD Writer 300n E: CDRom0 IDE-DVD ROM 16x F: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1023MB (1047852kB) Free physical memory: 490MB (502208kB) Memory in use : 52 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 29.3.2007 NeroAPI 9:30:32 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files reallocation started 9:30:32 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 9:30:32 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files sorted 9:30:32 PM #4 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 403 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 9:30:32 PM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 842 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 9:30:32 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3312 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:30:33 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3312 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:30:33 PM #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3316 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 9:30:33 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 281 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 1184847 (263:17.72, 2314MB) 9:30:33 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 293 Write in overburning mode: NO 9:30:33 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2616 Recorder: HP DVD Writer 300n, Media type: DVD+R 9:30:33 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 459 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 9:30:33 PM #13 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 814 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1184848 (1184848) = #1184848/263:17.73 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1184848 blocks [HP DVD Writer 300n ] -------------------------------------------------------------- 9:30:33 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1013 Prepare recorder [HP DVD Writer 300n] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00; Session Closed, disc fixated Tracks 1 to 1: 1: TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048/0x00, FilePos 0 0 2426568704, ISRC "" DAO layout: =========== __Start_

You're just getting a power calibration error. As such, you drive is basically saying it doesn't like the discs you're using. If there's a firmware update available for the drive, that might fix the issue. Otherwise you'll have to buy some different discs or buy a new drive.

there is a later firmware but it's so old probably only works up to 8x media Aug 02, 2004 nec 1100 is older than the hills

@Dougy You might want to try running a DVD/CD cleaning disc on your burner. Maxell makes one that sells for about $10US...
