I've been having this problem for quite a bit, I can't seem to write to cd-rws.
Just using windows to do it will fail, and using nero gives me a power calibration error, or something like that.
The only brand of cd-rws I have used is TDK, I don't know if I want to bother buying others to test since they won't likely work.
I am including the log file with my last attempt from nero.
Please help.

Not much experience with faulty CD burners... hmm
Have you tried doing a firmware upgrade on the drive?
....maybe your laser is out of alignment. I don't know how to align it, though.
Wouldn't hurt to try a different brand of CD RW.. or even a slower speed.
Is the drive old? Has it EVER worked for cd rw's? Does it do regular CDs okay? Does it *read* cd rw's?

The drive is about 2 years old, same as my computer, writing to cd-rs works fine, reading cd rws is a little shaky, sometimes it will read them, sometimes its like I never put a cd in, slower speed also fails.
As far as doing any upgrading for it, I have looked on the TEAC website and found nothing, it just said that the default windows drivers would be all it needed.
Hopefully SP2 might have a better version to allow it to work better.

No dice on SP2 being helpful, I like it though.
