eMac Combo Drive Not working
Hello,
I'm trying to burn a disk image using disk Utility with my eMac G4 700Mhz running Tiger 10.4.2.
I keep getting the error message: 'Unable to burn - The device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media"
Does this mean my drive has failed and i need to get a new one or can this be fixed in someway ?
Thanks for you help

Try burning at a slower speed, maybe?
Anything else i can try ?
open system preferences.
go to international
under languages: drag any of the other languages to the top, then drag english back to the top.
make sure "order for sorted lists" is set to enlish
make sure "work break" is set to english(united states, computer)
then restart.
A couple people have claimed that this fixed their similar problem. I don't have any idea why it would work, but they claim it does. Good luck!
Definitely the strangest fix i've seen for a problem.
