I am getting this error 0XC0AA0301 when trying to burn Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 to a DVD or CD using the windows 7 built in burner. I have googled this error and it has not been much help.

What causes this error? Bad disk? bad burner?

Should I try a third party DVD burner utility?

  • Download this program and get the Ubuntu hash wherever you downloaded it from - softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Check.shtml

  • @ekaj Ok the checksum matches so its not corrupted Dec 6, 2012 at 21:41
  • I'm pretty much out of ideas besides telling you to look for driver updates and try Microsoft's troubleshooter - the only other thing I can tell you is to use a different program to burn the DVDs, but that is just a work around and doesn't fix the initial problem.

You get this error:

//
// MessageId: E_IMAPI_UNEXPECTED_RESPONSE_FROM_DEVICE
//
// MessageText:
//
// The write failed because the drive returned error information that could not be recovered from.
//
#define E_IMAPI_UNEXPECTED_RESPONSE_FROM_DEVICE ((HRESULT)0xC0AA0301L)

Your HDD where you stored the ISO has some issues. Check it with chkdsk. You should also check the hashes of the ISO. Maybe the ISO is corrupted.

    The "HDD has some issues" part would make people worry. It's either an ISO or CD problem, else he'd be posting different questions.
