Hello,

I am unable to install the Sun Solaris 9 OS in a Sun Ultra 10.

So, I thought perhaps the "Sun Solaris 9 Installation 4/03 SPARC
Platform Edition" CD-ROM may be corrupt or something.

My only other machine is an IBM compatible PC running Windows XP Pro.
When I put the "Sun Solaris 9 Installation 4/03 SPARC Platform
Edition" CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of my Windows machine all I see
are 6 files and a total size of 90,788 KB. This seems strange for
what I presume to be the disk containing the OS.

Here is the output from my Windows PC listing what I see from the
"Sun Solaris 9 Installation 4/03 SPARC Platform Edition" CD-ROM;
D:\
_VOLUME.INF 30
ADD_INSTALL_CLIENT 59,586
BOOT 0
COPYRIGHT 6,889
MODIFY_INSTALL_SERVER 5,684
RM_INSTALL_CLIENT 18,599
6 Files
0 Folders

Does that sound right?
Is my Windows machine not "seeing" all files.
I do have Windows set up to "show all hidden" files.

The other Solaris 9 CD-ROM's that I own are;
-Solaris 9 Software 4/03 1 of 2.
-Solaris 9 Software 4/03 2 of 2.
-Solaris 9 Languages 4/03.
-Solaris 9 Software Supplement 4/03
-Solaris 9 Software Companion 4/03
-Sun ONE Starter Kit Start Here, 1 of 7 (Solaris 8 and 9 Operating
Environments, Windows Linux)
-up to
-Sun ONE Starter Kit Start Here, 1 of 7 (Solaris 8 and 9 Operating
Environments, Windows Linux).

Thank you for your time and help.

Please do not respond to this post. I didn't include all the
information. I will re post this below.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is fairly normal as it has some unmountable bits.

Windows does not see all files that Solaris can see.


What is wrong when you try to use the file?
