Write to the Power Calibration Area: you can only do this 99 times but this error is commonly caused by poor-quality media or attempting to use an unsupported media type in your CD-R/RW drive. An easy way to diagnose media quality issues is to reattempt the write operation with a high-quality, branded CD-R/RW disc.

By the way...

"burning what, with what, on what platform" always helps. This post may help you.
