windows 7 - What does "Power Calibration Area Error" mean when I'm trying to write a DVD

I'm trying to write a Windows 7 DVD iso to a DVD+R, single layer, 4.7GB disk. The source ISO file size is about 2.3GB. The burner is a hp DVD RAM UJ897, while the media is a Sony D31 DVD+R.



I tried to burn the ISO using various tools - Windows 7's native ISO burner, CDBurner XP - both failed without telling me why.



ImgBuner was a little more helpful & gave this error message:

This is the text which was shown:



W 21:09:31 Failed to Write Sectors 256 - 287 - Reason: Power Calibration Area Error
W 21:09:31 Retrying (1 of 20)...
W 21:09:31 Retry Failed - Reason: Power Calibration Area Error


Does this mean my DVD burner is faulty? Or is it the medium? I've tried with 2 disks, both resulted in same error.

Note: reducing the burn speed hasn't helped either
