    I only googled your error code, but it doesn't look like a common problem. I would try burning another recovery disc, or perhaps downloading the recovery image altogether and burning it to disc. Make sure to burn it at the slowest speed possible.

    There are 3 causes to this fault:
    1. the data on the restore partition is corrupted (if using CDs then they way be corrupted)
    2. there are corrupt sectors on the hard drive so the data can't be written (formatting should fix this)
    3. faulty ram causing faults with the recovery.

    Would try step 2 first before moving on to the others.
    Hope this helps
