According to
<http://www.gearsoftware.com/wiki/index.php?title=ERROR:_4280_-_recording_failed>,

ERROR: 4280 - recording failed

Applies to Products: ALL
Applies to Operating Systems: ALL

Summary:
When attempting to record to a disc, the operation may fail with error:
4280 - "Optical Power Calibration area error"
Cause:
Prior to starting the actual recording of the disc, the recorder
adjusts its laser to correctly record the inserted media at the
specified speed. If this operation fails, the recorder will return an
error and the recording is aborted.
Solution:
This error is normally caused by using bad or low quality media. It is
therefore recommended to use known quality brand media or media which
has been deemed compatible by the hardware vendor. Often a list of such
media can be found in the recorder's user manual.
In some cases selecting a lower recording speed may also resolve this
issue.
If the issue persists after switching media brands, then your recorder
may be defective or may require a firmware upgrade. Please contact the
hardware vendor and report the issue.
============
Try a different brand CD!
