Do you have sticky labels on the backups?

If so it is possible that they are unbalanced and causing the issue.

As well if your using cheap media then it could be just a bad burn.

You should stick with Verbatim, Tayio Yuden or Ridtata media. Burn at half the rated speed with ImgBurn.

Stay away from sticky labels. If you want to label them then buy printable DVD's and print them that way.

That is a Wii error that blocks the backup from booting with a modchip. Make sure you have your modchip firmware updated to latest firmware or use Gecko OS to boot it past the #001 error.
