Hi, I'm getting these errors in my log and was wondering how I should go about fixing and diagnosing the fault? According to Google it could be a drive fault, I've an IDE dvd-rom in there and a SATA hard-drive at the moment. If it's the DVD, I'm not that bothered, but if it's the Hard drive...eek!
Thanks
Jim

sr0 is your DVD drive.
You may see such errors if the machine is trying to find a disc when there isn't one in the drive, or when it takes a few attempts to start reading a disc (spinning up to speed, focussing, etc.).

sr[number] is the DVD. A medium error is an error on the device media so its almost certainly complaining about a block on the actual DVD inserted into the machine not the drive.
