Solaris 10 x86 Installation Will Not Boot From CD Disks

Problem: Am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on a desktop PC (PC details unspecified) from downloaded iso images (5 in all) on 5 CD disks. These were downloaded from the Sun website and unzipped. I install Disk 1of 5 into the CD drive and then restart the machine, thinkng that it will launch into the boot/installation process. The only thing that happens is that I get a screen message which tells me to "retry". Obviously, the machine never even boots up, much less allows me to install x86 Solaris 10
This is the very first time I have ever attempted to install Solaris 10 x86 onto a desktp PC and undoubtedly I have overlooked something. I am currently searching Google and every place else I can find in order to try to find out what I need to do to make this machine boot. Your replies/help is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely

Rob
