i got a burnt copy of solaris 8 which was download off of www.sun.com

the person who borrowed me the 3 cds said he successfully has the solaris 8 thing installed on his pc. how come when I tried to install it on mines, I get a bunch of errors messages some of which includes words like "disk read error" "cant mount" "dump??"

does anyone know how to fix this.

i doubt if the fault is with the cds my friend gave me.
