bad magic number in cd label

Hi,

I tried to install opensolaris on a Sun Blade 100, as I tried to boot
from cdrom the following errormessage appeared:

bad magic number in cd label

these are the things I have already tried:

- burn original iso with nero on a windows pc
- copy data of cd to hd and rename the cd label
- burn bootable cd with nero
- burn with a mac
- replaced the cdrom
- burn with alcohol120

is there anything else I can do???

Many thanks

Marcel

You must write the iso file as an *image*, and not try to put the file
as a piece of data on a CD. The iso image will be bootable - it is not
something you should try to set in your software. The fact you are
burned it as a bootable cd indicates to me that you have done it
incorrectly, as you cant do that with an iso image.

I don't know your software type, but it should have some sort of
faciltiy to burn an image, and one option will be a file ending in .iso.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. But we brunes it as image and it didn´t worked...
best regards,
