    Problem Installing Solaris 10

    Hello,
    I'd like to install unix solaris 10 x86. I go to the site of the Sun, I already have a win xp installed and I want to make a multi boot with solaris. For win xp I have a 30GB partition for solaris and I wanted a 10GB partition. So I partitioned my drive and solaris inserted my dvd in the drive. The DVD boot well. The quantity I choose one or the other I see the following:
    Code:
    MOUNT FAILED ERROR 
    UNABLE TO MOUNT A SOLARIS ROOT FILE SYSTEM FROM THE DEVICE 
    MOUNT ERROR MESSAGE:
    Could me explain me what this error is all about. Thank you.

    I rather like it to be a problem with your DVD. To install your Solaris, a structure containing a kernel, various utilities and programs must be loaded into memory, but apparently the installer can not read the files needed. I guess i am correct here.

    It is possible that your ISO image is corrupted, or when an error occurred while burning your DVD. Reassure yourself that the checksum of your ISO image is correct and you've followed the instructions to burn the DVD to the letter. So, I would recommend you if you have an live CD then you can use it.

    It is true that I had problems to read the iso but I thought they were still correct. Thank you for your answer I'll either try them or have the version of someone else e retry the installation. I'll be back on this subject if I solved this problem. Thank you again for your advice.
