Solaris 10 - boot CD not loading

I recently downloaded solaris 10 disk images and I am trying to load it onto my system. I cannot get the PC to load off of the disk 1 image. I created the disk using windows easy cd creator just like the download instructions said, but i get a boot failure. Smilie Any ideas??? ( BIOS ok !!! )

Thanks in advance! Smilie

If the CD isn't bootable then make a boot disk and try using that.

When creating the CD did you make it bootable?

You cannot simply copy that iso file to your blank cd...
If you just copy it, then in the cd you will have only 1 file, i.e. xxx.iso. But actually what you want is like extract that iso files to lots of files. So, if you found the cd that you burn just have 1 file and with .iso extension... then you have to burn it again.
If I am not mistake, Windows default cd burning tool can't burn iso image file, you have to use other software, e.g. Nero's Burning Rom.

I read better again and I find that I have burned CD # 1 with the default option Track at once instead Disck at once ...exactly Disk at once/96 Immediately I have tried to burn CD with Nero 6 with the exactly option... and it works !!!! Smilie
I thought that it was a normal CD image .iso like the others....
Thank you very much ... and sorry my English... the Grammar !!! Smilie

Please try MagicISO, you can make bootable CD from bootable image with magiciso. It is a good ISO burner.
