Can't open disk label package

Hi,
i just tried to make a boot DVD for Solaris 9 9/05 from a image file (.iso)
the iso file size is about 4.383GB.
tried with the nero express with the option copy image to disk.
succefully burnt the details, even the expected .flar file exists in the burnt DVD.
But when i tried in the SUN machine E2900, i got the following error,
Rebooting with command: boot cdrom
ERROR: disk-label do_read: Short disk read
Can't open disk label package
ERROR: Can't open boot-device
- I guess the fashion in which we are writing an image file to the DVD matters. if somebody faced the same situation, please do suggest me how to proceed ?
thank you very much

"Bad checksum in disk label" & "Can't open disk label package"

Hello,
I'm brand new to Sun/Solaris.
I have a Sun Blade 150, with SunOS 5.8.
I wanted to make a backup to prevent future data loss, so I put the disk in a normal PC with Windows XP to try to make a backup with Norton Ghost, the disk was detected, but not the file volume, so I place the disk on a desktop PC, and used Norton Ghost for DOS, the disk was recognized but once again not the file volume, so I wasn't able to make a disk backup, and I quit.
Put back the disk on the Sun Blade 150 PC, and then I was unable to startup the PC, showing the message "Bad checksum in disk label" and "Can't open disk label package".
What's wrong?
How can I solve this?
I need the data that's inside the hard-disk, so I cannot make a clean install, and i also don't have any install CD.
Thanks for any help,
JS

Thanks for the fast response,
i did't allow WindowsXP to write anythink to the disk, but somethink is written,and I don't know what. So now, the Spark-System dosn't boot from the HDD and the data on the disk is very important for me! When I format the disk all data are lost, right?
Is there a way to "rewrite" the Disk-Label-Checksum? I have an original Boot-CD-ROM, another HDD to install Solaris and so one, but I need the data of the corrupted HDD. And I also have not really a glue to use Solaris or any other UNIX, I'm a Windows-User.........

Can't read disk label

Dear Sun experts,
I am trying to install Solaris 9 on a Sun Ultra 10 Sparc workstation. This system formerly had Solaris 8 on it, but we decided to do a reinstallation to configure things the way we wanted them.Before doing that we encountered a few problems
1.The system failed to recognize the Dell Ultra Sharp Monitor, when the signal cable was plugged into the port behind the computer. To solve this we researched and were told to remove the Video card attached to the mother board, and this we did.The system now recognized the dell monitor and booted in Solaris 8.
2.We ran sys-unconfig to reconfigure the system to change the hostname on a reboot.We powered off the computer.Afterward we would go through the sys-unconfig program in an indefinite loop.So I powered off the computer each time i got stuck.
3.Lastly I tried to do a STOP A to try to go to the 'ok' prompt in order to do a clean installation of Solaris 8 Installation CD, by running
ok boot cdrom [ENTER]
Here's what I am getting:
Boot device: /pci@1f, 0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f File and args:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
ok
[end]
I want to do a clean installation of the Solaris 9 CD on the sparc ultra 10 computer.Please can anyone help me out? I looked at the solaris 9 installation guide, and it asked that I follow this procedure. Please respond if you can help.
Also of note is that I got this system from a user who had installed Solaris 8 sparc on it earlier.
Thanks a million!

Hi!
After a day fighting with same problem and found no good solution on the internet , I was able to do a workaround in order to be able to boot my sun bade 1500 that was giving the "can't open disk label" message.
I found no source of the problem but someone with more knowledge could guess. (maybe a default bad alias definition of cdrom ��?)
Well, first of all I plugued a normal IDE CDrom as primary slave, leaving IDE HD as primary master. And inserted solaris 8 installation CD (as it was my only solaris bootable CD, but I guess that I oculd boot any other CD).
After that, I went to the openboot prompt (ok>) and did next:
ok devalias cdrom - this will show you current path to internal CD. Use this to determine what new alias should look like.
ok setenv auto-boot? false
ok reset-all
ok probe-scsi-all - find the path to the new cdrom - write it down & write target # as well
ok show-disks - find the exact path you just wrote down and type that letter
ok nvalias cdrom2 [Ctrl] + [y] which will paste that path. Finish with @sd1,0:f AS IT's PRIMARY SLAVE
ok reset-all
ok boot cdrom2
I found this part in http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Solaris/Q_ 20757891.html
except teh @sd1,0:f, I found that with my good luck!
After that I was able to boot with CD. the installation failed, but at least I was able to mount / filesystem and modify my /etc/passwd ... my target!
HTH
Cheers!

Can't read disk label: Booting Blade from CDROM

Folks !
I am trying to boot Sun Blade 100 from its internal IDE CD-ROM drive
using the Solaris 8 boot/installation CD (01/01). When I give the command
"boot cdrom" from ok fromt in OpenBoot, disk seems to spin for a moment
(green light comes on) but it eventually fails complaining:
can't read disk label
can'open disk label package
failed to open boot device.
I have tried following (all to no avail)
"boot /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@1,0:f" since devalias shows that cdrom is aliased to above. I also tried cdrom@0,0:f, but same result.
tried boot/installation CD from Solaris 9
did set-defaults reset-all
checked probe-ide and show disks output to make sure CDROM is recognized - it is primary slave.
swapped another IDE CD-ROM drived pulled from a PC. It was recognized but still not bootable.
Makes me wonder if PROM/NVRAM is corrupted. Hard disk
drive is trashed as such (another Blade 100 problem, since it was crashing
often, I had to force powerdown using the switch eventually leading
to corruption of basic files like /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1, so I can't force fsck)
I have to boot from CD to recover the machine and hopefully
repair the disk drive or swap it out and upgrade to Solaris 9.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks very much.

as per the message it appears either you have a bad CD drive or CD media . If you have another machine try to boot this CD and verify it is working there. If the CD is ok you will have to swap the cd drive for testing

Can' t read disk label, install issues

can' t read disk label, install issues
i am trying to install solaris 8 on a sparc5 (256mb, 4.2gb,110mhz). i initially installed using the installation disk and it seemed successful as i was able to load the rest of the cds. something went wrong though b/c the system is stuck in a rebooting loop after it finished the last cd. so i went searching and found that i could only have a root partition of no bigger than 1gb. since i used the installation disk, i was not given an option to specify slice sizes. so now, i am trying to redo the install starting from the first disk (1 of 2) and skipping the installation disk. when i do a "boot cdrom" with the 1 of 2 disk, i get the cant read disk label or something about short entry and it will not boot. i am using actual Solaris 8 cds and not downloads. what can i do to get it to boot up from the first disk, or fix the partitioning on the disk?

I am using the offical Solaris 8 Installation 2/02 for SPARC Platform Edition for Sun Computer Systems February 2002, Revision A
Output from the probe-ide command follows:
device 0 (Primary Master)
ATA Model: ST3160023A
device 1 (Primary Slave)
Removable ATAPI Model: LTN4865
device 2 (Secondary Master)
ATA Model: ST340016A
device 3 (Secondary Slave)
not present
device 0 is the new hard disk that I just installed
device 1 is the CDR drive
device 2 is the original hard disk. I can boot this but now get some magic disk errors or something like that
device 3 is not present
I have all devices set to cable select according to the manual.
Thanks for your help...

Can't open disk images after 10.4.6 update

I upgraded my computer to 10.4.6 and now I can't open any disk images. I checked my disk in Disk Utility and it said it had errors, so I booted from my installation disk to fix the drive. That worked for about a day, and then the same thing happened again. It says my disk is fine, so I don't think I need to go through the trouble of rebooting and repairing it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Shazzi,
Have you repaired permissions on your start-up drive using Disk Utility in addition the disk check and repair that you did? By the way, what kind of errors did DU find when you checked and repaired your disk? Did it complete the repair?

HT3386 Where is the icon for pages? How can I open desktop labels program

Apps says Pages is installed. I cannot locate it on my iMac. Cannot open desktop labels either. Have been charged for both.

If you bought Desktop Labels from the Mac App Store, it should be in your Applications folder.
You can open AppleWorks 6 word processing, spreadsheets & presentations in Pages, Numbers & Keynote respectively. You cannot open any other type (draw, paint or database) of AppleWorks 6 documents with any iWork application nor can you open AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks documents. There is no special importing needed. There are several methods you can use, common to most Mac applications. Use the Open dialog, Control- or right-click & choose the desired application from Open With in the contextual menu or drag the icon of the file onto the desired application icon in the Finder or the Dock. If you want to (semi-) permanently change the application to open the files, you can do it in Get Info. I'm not sure how successful this would be with AppleWorks documents, though, since OS X does not differentiate between the various AppleWorks document types & there are three different applications you would use.
Preview, that comes with the Mac OS will open PDFs.

T61p Hard drive problem- Can't open Disk D:

Hi, about three days ago, my laptop, T61p, it happened blue scrren error, and yesterday, it happened that I can't open the Disk D:, when I tried to open it, it said parameter uncorrect or asked me to format the disk.
Cause there are some useful files in the disk, I don't want to do that. And because I haven't backed up the system for several months, I don't know how to resuce the files in it.
Actually, this problem had happened last months, but when I restart the computer, the diskcheck runs automatically, and after that, the disk D: can be opened. But this time, the system just check the disk C:, and I can't run the "diskcheck" for Disk D:, when I insert this order in "cmd", it said the disk is raw, and can't proceed.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks!

If you get a response that the disk is "raw", you can try the following: go into diskmgmt.msc (type it in run-dialog), and try setting a different drive-letter on the D-drive. See if that helps (reported "raw" disks in Vista/Windows 7 sometimes are just failure to recognize the disk properly, and a new drive-letter "activates" it again).

Can an opened disk image (.dmg) be passworded?

I have created a DMG file with encryption and password. That secures it before I open it.
Can I also have password protection after I have opened it?

Can I also have password protection after I have opened it?
I'm not sure I understand the question, so let's see if this hits the mark... When you open an encrypted .dmg file, you must supply the password. From then on, as long as it appears as a "disk" on the desktop, you can access that disk and all the files on it without a password. When you're done, you drag the "disk" (not the .dmg file!) to the Trash to "eject" it. At this point, it's locked up again, and you'll have to enter the password to open it again.
Does that answer the question? If not, you'll have to be more specific.

Can't open disk drive

Hi. I put a DVD in the disk drive for my Power Mac G5. I have tried to eject the disk using various methods, but nothing has worked. Here is what I have tried thus far:
1. Press "Eject" button
2. Open Disk Utility (to eject the file) -- but the dvd is not seen by disk utility
3. Restart, hold down mouse.
4. Use firmware: Restart, hold down command-option-o-f when startup sound heard, type "eject cd".
5. Hold down metal door, look for hole below drive, push paper clip in the hole. I suppose it is possible that I found the wrong hole.
Nothing has worked. When any of these steps are taken, I hear a mechanical sound, as if the computer is trying to open the door, but it doesn't actually open.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
There is a bit more info on possible emergency eject hole positions at Figure 4 here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88215
It takes a strong, straightened paper clip in the emergency eject hole - it is a mechanical release only, so you will have to slide the tray out by hand. If the drive is dodgy anyway, it may be easier if you remove the drive
http://www.info.apple.com/usen/cip/pdf/g5/073-0807.pdf
As to the problem - a jammed tray on a PC optical drive here was fixed by levering the toothed rack on the tray back into the groove where it could then contact the cog wheel that drives it. But you need to remove the optical drive on a G5 to try anything like that.
Please post again if you have any questions. Good Luck.

Can't open disk image file

I saved my iDVD project as a disk image onto my hard drive. All of the encoding took place as if I were burning it to a DVD disk. After the encoding was finished, two icons popped up on my desktop: One with a .img extension, and one with a hard drive type image with only the project name and no extension. When I try to open either one of them, my project does not come up. The .img file is totally empty. The other file, the one named "my project name", has an Audio_TS folder which is empty and a Video-TS folder that contains six files, all of which require a "choose application" to open. I tried iDVD as an application, but that didn't work. How do I get my iDVD project to open so that I can burn a DVD disk from it? Right now, the two icons on my desktop are useless.

The other file, the one named "my project name", has an Audio_TS folder which is empty and a Video-TS folder that contains six files, all of which require a "choose application" to open.
This is the mounted disk image file and can be played with Apple's DVD Player application. BTW, the AUDIO_TS folder Should be empty - it's not used in video DVDs.

Can't open disk utility at startup, can't format new hard drive

My hard drive on my 2011 macbook pro recently went out, so I purchased a new one. I plugged it in internally and brought up disk utility in internet recovery, but it didn't recognize the drive. So I tried using an external hard drive reader, but now recovery mode can't be accessed at all, whether I press option or command r after startup, it still gives me the same gray folder with a question mark icon. Is my recovery mode damaged, and is that possible to fix?

You can use an external USB disk/flash drive which has Recovery (or a full OS - requires a 16GB disk space on a USB flash or a JHFS+ partition with the OSX) on it. Boot from that recovery USB drive. if Internet Recovery worked once, the MBP is already capable of repeating it. It requires an Ethernet or WiFi connection. If neither is available, or is spotty, Internet Recovery will not work. Can you try Internet recovery via Ethernet cable, if all your previous attempts have been via WiFi?
If the drive is not recognized when plugged into the internal SATA bus, either a cable is not plugged in properly (the replacement drive never showed up successfully as per the OP even once, or the drive is DoA). It should be tested externally. Pulling the drive out and putting it back is fairly easy in the 2011/2012 MBPs. The cable could have been damaged during the replacement. The non-drive end of SATA/IR Sensor cable on the main logic board could be loose or damaged.
If you have a external cable SATA-to-USB or SATA-to-FW (very unlikely), format the new drive using a different PC/MAC to make sure it is not DoA. What brand/model is this new drive? Is it an SSD? It may require a FW upgrade.
If there is a second MAC available, a Target Disk Mode boot (press T while powering up the mac with the new drive) may allow the second working mac to format the new drive via Disk Utility.
