Dvd stops burning

Premature failure of this drive appears to be a widespread issue. I have joined in a support thread at HP and encourage you to do the same:

This might be some help to all you guys out there which are having problems with this power calibration error

1. on Desktop click Start
2. select Control Panel
3. click on Administrative Tools
4. click on Services
5. browse your way down to IMAPI CD BURNING COM SERVICE
6. right click (on IMAPI) then select properties
7. in the middle of the window, it will say start up type. Click on the arrow to the right and select disabled.
8. make sure you click APPLY

You should notice that Nero starts a lot faster as well.

**********************************
or another cause may be due to

caused by incompatible/cheap media, but it's clear that there are many possible causes of this error and media is only one of them

**********
cheapest and (so far) best solution is to:

1. Eject the disk
2. Make sure the disk looks ok (no dust, gunge, scratches etc)
3. Make sure the tray is clean

pls

installed POWERDVD program into your system unit and put the homemade video again and click on the powerdvd icon and click play button on it and it would start playing.

I would email or call hp support and ask about this as there should be a firmware update of some description.

Also re install latest chipset drivers and maybe adaptec aspi drivers ?

on the back of the hardware are jumpers
mine are located next to where the ribbon plugs in
there are 3 jumpers- like this : : :
the jumper must be on "cable" ( printed above post )
just move the jumper and reinstall
Now xp can find the 10401
I did it...it works
