Can someone tell me what current discs are compatible with this drive?
I keep getting Power Calibration errors on all new discs.
I've had no success with Verbatim (48X CD-Rs) and Philips 52X. Previous to this two I've used Imation 40X (not sure about the speed) and had about a 80% success rate without any Power Calibration errors.
At first I thought the lens was dirty so I took it apart and used half a can of compressed air to give it a good clean. But that didn't make any difference. Then I found an old CD-RW that came with the drive and I managed to burn it without any problems. So I'm guessing the drive is fine.
Can the new discs be too fast for my drive (I've tried burning them at all speeds). Ricoh's site is useless. They recommend manufacturers. But just because a manufacturer made some compatible discs a year ago it doesn’t mean they do now. I burned a ton of Philips 12X without any problems but none of their 52X work. Verbatim are actually one of their recommended manufacturers but their discs didn't work either.
Anyone with the same drive around here? I'd like to know what discs you use.
Thank you.
