Help! Having Trouble Installing Solaris 10 on a SPARC machine

Hi All,
I recently found a new job, and one of the requirements is I learn Solaris 10. I have successfully loaded the most recent x86 version on a laptop, but.....
My workplace has a sun blade 2500 (several actually) and I am trying to load the newest Solaris 10 SPARC version that I just downloaded. I downloaded it on my PC (Windows vista, yech), unpacked the ISO using winzip, and burned the files to a DVD. When I put that newly burned DVD into the sunblade 2500, I press stop-a, then type "boot cdrom", and after the reboot, I get a message saying
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
{0} ok
So for some reason my burned DVD is giving me a "bad magic number" error - and its not just one machine, all the machines I tried to load it on said the same thing.
Fortunately, a co-worker that recently left the company had Solaris 10 burned to a set of CDs (5 plus the language CD) and that installed well (albeit version 08/07 of Solaris 10).
So I am at the point where I can probably figure out how to upgrade the machine, but it bothers me that I couldnt successfully download the ISO from sun, unpack the contents, burn said contents to a DVD (using Windows), then take that DVD and install SPARC Solaris 10 on a sun blade 2500. I know that at some point I wont have the crutch of those CDs. Does anyone know what I was doing wrong? Is there a certain way you have to burn the DVD, or use a certain package to unpack the ISO for the SPARC version?
Thanks,
Brent

Trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755

Hello All,
I'm having trouble installing Solaris 10(x86) u4 8/07 on a new Dell OptiPlex 755.
I have also tried installing opensolaris 9/07 Express Dev snv_70b with the same issue.
I tried disabling all unnecessary hardware in the BIOS as well.
After GNU GRUB loads and I select Solaris install after about 20 dots.... I get:
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci1028,211@1d, 7
No SOF interrupts have been received
this USB EHCI host controller is unusable
Hardware:
Dell OptiPlex 755 Small Form Factor, Pentium Dual Core, E2160/1.8GHz1M,800FSB,1GB ram.
I am only installing Solaris 10 - no other OS will be on the HD.
Is there any hope for getting SolX installed on this machine or should I return this hardware and by a different model? I have to build 2 pc's with SolX for development boxs.
Thank you in Advance,
-M

(basically one with PC1/2 missing for keyboard and Mouse)I am a genuinely concerned guy, so please don't mind the rudeness in this question.

Needed help in Installing Solaris 10 on sparc box from windows remotely

Hi All,
I have few Sun Ultra Sparc boxes. I m accessing them only through putty session(serail port) from my windows system.
Now there is a need for me to install Solaris 10 in the sparc box. But the sparc box doesn't have any DVD drive. I have an external DVD drive.
Can somebody help me out to install Solaris on the sparc box with the components I have.
1) Windows system with putty
2) External DVD drive
3) Sun sparc box.
Thanks for your help,
T.R.Santhosh

If you run into a problem that causes the machine not to boot, you can't interact with it via putty. You'd need a physical connection, usually either the keyboard and screen or a serial connection. I would always plan to be able to do so during an upgrade.
If you have sufficient disk space, the easiest thing to do would be to copy over the DVD iso, then mount it up with lofi, and do a live upgrade.
Windows doesn't read rockridge format disks. I would worry that having the windows machine read the ISO filesystem and send the files over would cause name issues. That's why getting the full ISO and mounting it locally on the Sparc is best. Fortunately, it doesn't require a physical drive.

Hi my name is Derek in I'm having trouble installing adobe flash player for Kindle HD could you please help me.
You'll continue to have trouble, because...
There is no more Flash Player for Android and there won't be another. Android is no longer compatible with Flash Player. Playing Flash content is very processor consumptive and it drains your battery, also shortening the life of it. Android (Google) recommends using either "Dolphin" or "Puffin" as your browser if you need to view Flash content with a mobile device running Android. They're both free in the GooglePlay store.
These browsers use "server side" rendering to reduce the load on your device.

You may be able to load the OS from your other MBP disks, if they are the same modal MBP...
You could also do a clone of your other MBP to the blank one, use Carbon Copy Coner and a FireWire cable.

I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive. Help?

Aloha:
I am having trouble installing Lion on a partitioned hard drive
I have three internal HD's The first I am running the system on 10.6.8 (which is up to date) , the second I do most of my work on and the third I have partitioned into two and I am trying to install Lion on one of the patitions.
But Lion has decided it will only go on the first HD.
Above is the one I want to put it on, but it's not available and I can't change the partition scheme. None of the things the directions state are usable??
What might I be doing wrong?
Thanks
Dan Page

Thanks again for a rapid responce.
I finally got lion on one partition and my daily "SilverKeeper" backup on the other.
Since the only thing I had on the two partition Hard drive was the back up and since the backup would get put on tonight any way I changed the drive to no partitions. This gave me the ability to choose the GUID option, which I did and then I installed two partitions and successfuly istalled Lion on one of them. I even tied Lion into the iCloud successfuly.
But I am not out of the woods yet! I brought My brand new iPad to lunch and was informed that my iPad was synced to my Lion at home and I was on the cloud. That blew my mind, I was impressed.
I then read the Daily news with out problem, however, when I shut down my iPad, that was all she wrote. I can not get the iPad back on. The best I could do was see the revolving gear start and then freeze. It's on charge now and I can not even get rid of the frozen gear.
Not sure this all has anything to do with the recent installation on my main computer, but it's mighty suspicious.
Need some help!!
Thanks
Dan

Having trouble installing Photoshop Elements 13. [was: I wonder if somehow I might have went to Creative cloud because something crossed my screen, but I am not used to doing this so]

I could really use Customer Service help. I received Photoshop Elements as a gift for Christmas...I waiting until i got a new laptop so that I could use that as i was having trouble with older computer. However, I am having trouble installing the software...I swear the dvd added the programs, and I saw them in files explorer i think, but then I cannot find or I was not even able to add the serial number to my knowledge, because it was blank...no keystrokes were shown...and i don't see the program anywhere...Could I have down something wrong and it is somewhere in the cloud?

Thank you. That's what I first thought that I didn't need to do anything
but install from the dvd drive. However after the agreement, it asks me to
sign in at adobe. (Sorry, I'm a little tired of looking at this right
now)...I'll try again tomorrow.
There is no one that I see how to start using the program as I must sign
in. However, I have never been able to get the number to your firm. Or get
the correct number... I think I clicked on a learning tutorial or browsed
Adobe's website to learn more, but got caught up in all the details.
I never uninstalled virus protection to run it because I thought that it
would ask. I'll try again tomorrow I am frustrated. Thank you for your
patience. I appreciate it totally. It's really sad cause I really wanted to
create. I have wanted this for a very long time and I can't believe how
difficult this has been. It would be really nice to know what is really
wrong. I must not be seeing something or I've done something.

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
Their player, plays the video without a problem!
