Installation failed to start

Hi,

Can anyone help me in resolving the below problem?

I have downloaded the DVD version of solaris 10 into my windows system, but not sure on how to make the downloaded image as bootable one.

I did exeucted the "sol-10-u3-ga-x86-dvd-full" file which I downloaded, it went on and created one more file with the following name "sol-10-u3-ga-x86-dvd" (which is in zip format). Again I extracted the zip file which created few files alongwith some directories.

Got confused which one I should copy into DVD and how to make the image as bootable.

I did copied these images seperately into DVD and tried booting thro' it but it failed. Boot options at the BIOS level also been set to DVD/CD option.

Can anyone guide me on how to convert the downloaded files into an bootable image so that I can use it for installation.

Note: I am using roxio for DVD solutions.

Thank you.

Saran

Saran,

It's been a while since I downloaded a DVD image "full" file, but if I remeber correctly, it should have when unzipped, create a sol-10-u3-ga-x86-dvd.iso file. The .iso file is the image that should be burned. Most burning software allow you to burn an image without having to specify making it bootable.
