Hi there i need some advice, i am trying to burn some dvd's that i owe however the last couple times that i have tried to do this it gets pretty much to the end of burning the dvd when it comes up with this error message:

The Drive reported an error:
Sense key= HARDWARE ERROR
Sense Code= 0x03, 0x01.

What does this mean and how do i fix it as it is really starting to annoy me.

Any help would be greatfull appreciated...
 
the simplest thing to try is a different brand of DVDr

If you have already tried a couple of different brands, then your burner is likely failing.
 
Is it an internal or external drive? What brand?

I had something similar with an external LaCie firewire drive I bought on ebay (NEC mechanism), and solved it by updating the drive's firmware. As I remember I had to do this via a Windows PC as I couldn't find a Mac version of the firmware.
 
this happened to me, and I had to have the DVD Drive replaced. If your machine is still under warranty it won't cost you anything.
