Problem with Plextor 1210S and CDRW media.

Just try a different brand of media. My TDK 121032A doesn't even know
there is a disc in the drive when I use Imation 4X-10X 74 Minute
discs!

Odd - mine is perfectly happy with Ricoh 10x CD-RW High Speed media, and
that media is on Plextor Europe's recommended media list for the
PX-W1210TS

On the back of the case it says "Made in EU" and there's a white box
that says in black print:

CDRW 74 10x
790972

I'm using 1.02 firmware (also Windows 2000 Pro SP2 and an Adaptec 29160N
with 3.10 BIOS and the FMS 4.0a SP3 drivers, not that any of this should
make the slightest difference).

This media was bought in the UK from dabs.com - GBP18.79 including VAT
for a 10 pack, "Quicklinx" Y8LWS. I'm impressed at this price.

Mine works well with both the Verbatim 10X RW media which came with the
drive
and with Sony 4X RW media. Other RW media brands not yet tested.

Look for and try different brands of CDRW media that specifically say
"High Speed" on the discs. Power calibration errors mean the drive is
not getting within spec results on a short test burn and read it does to
a specially designated area of the disc before burning. It can mean
poor media matches, dirty optics, or even failing drives; but not
anything to do with insufficient power supply to the drive.

This is sometimes so: Some cd-writers don't like some media - return
the media and try another kind of media!
