what speed are the the Solaris 10 CD-R Kits burned at?

hi,

i have downloaded the solaris 10 cd images from sun. i burned them to a cd

using a cd-rw drive on a windows xp machine; and nero express cd burning

software. the slowest speed that my windows xp cd-rw writer can write at is

8x. for some reason, my sunblade 100 cd-rom drive cannot read the solaris 10

cd images that i downloaded and burned on my 8x windows xp cd-rw writer.

when i load the burned cd into the sunblade 100's cd-rom drive and boot from

the cd, the result is errors such as those i've pasted at the bottom of this post.

i suspect that the fastest speed the cd-rom drive on sun microsystems

sunblade 100 can read at is 4x. i am considering purchasing a Solaris 10 CD-R

Kit:

http://globalspecials.sun.com/servlet/ControllerServlet?Action=DisplayPage& Env=BASE&Locale=en_US&SiteID=sunstor&id=ProductDetailsPage&produ ctID=61498500

to make sure the cds will work in my sunblade - before i buy them and find out

they don't work -

i emailed sun (solarisdvd-request@sun.com, mediakit@brandvia.com, mediakit@sunwarestore.com) several days ago to ask them what speed the Solaris 10 CD-R Kit

cds are burned at.its been a week and sun still have not replied with an answer.

please can anybody here tell me what speed the Solaris 10 CD-R

Kit cds are burned at?

many thanks,

sun-certified

The speed a CD-R is burned at has nothing to do with the maximum speed at which it can be read.

However if you have crummy media or burner, then you do sometimes get CD-Rs that are more easily read because the ptis and lands will be more distinctive at slower speeds because it gives the laser more time to interact with the substrate.

I'd try a different brand of recordable media, or even a CD-RW as they tend to be more refelective and work better for some applications.
