How can I install Solaris 9 8/20 x86 on an Ext. USB Disk?

I am fairly new to Solaris. Does anyone know know to do an install to a completely separate ext. USB hard disk?
I think that it can be done since I can get through the initial installation CD with the partitions, slices, and MBR being created and the files copied over. However, when it comes time to reboot and continue, the CDA starts up from USB disk and lists 2 devices to boot -- CD & DISK. This is the problem, it keeps trying to load up from the IDE-PCI controller instead of the USB Disk. It has no problems loading from or booting up the CD.
BTW, this is running on a Dell Inspiron 5100 with the primary disk holding Windows XP. There is no extra room left on it. That's why I'm using the ext. usb disk.

    I have access to the Ultra 60 console. At OK prompt type in "boot cdrom". The system evaluate the CD and respond "can't open boot device"
    Tried "boot cdrom -s" as well

  • How can i install windows 7 on macbook pro lion  from usb?

    hello am sorry to disturb you
    i would like to know the above question since i have looked almost everywhere and i have received no answer
    i have a macbook pro i5 with lion
    i have been trying for month to install windows 7 as a secondary boot to my mac
    but i haven't been able to
    things that i have done
    -i had downloaded win7 iso
    -using another computer i installed win7 on the usb { win to flash }
    -i have used bootcamp assistant but apparently i need a dvd of win7 which i currently don't have
    -i have installed Reffit but i always get a flashing screen when try to load windows
    please i hope you can reply me back if possible
    my thoughts are
    is that apple disabled the efi on lion to not be able to boot from usb flash drive
    my reasoning to this is that is used to work  on leopard but not lion
    again am trying to boot from usb not burn a disc
    please help att alcidio

    Rule #1 that TP missed: ISO have to be burned at SLOWEST 2X burn speed to work.
    There is/was a long thread but booting Windows from USB-DVD or flash is hit or miss, it may work. USB-DVDs often do not but it is possible to edit the plist to add the Mac ID string to it.
    Boot Camp Assistant -
    create a partition (done)
    download Windows Support Software (drivers to install after Windows is running) (done)
    Start the install and boot process - not really needed or essential
    And you can use Paragon, you can use Windows 7 or later DVD and do entire install (but on a dedicated 100% Windows hard drive).
    Flash drive: has to be MBR and FAT or NTFS (I think, sounds right) same for putting Apple drivers on flash card  for which there is an Apple Tech Article.

  • How can I install Windows 7 with Boot Camp from a Usb memory stick?

    What exactly do I need to do to the memory stick?

    Depends on the game. Most programs have no problem installing on an external drive.
    Of course depending on the game, performance may or may not be an issue. A crossword puzzle game will perform better than a real time fast action game running from an external drive.
    2.5, 3.5, 5400rpm, 7200rpm, SSD drives come as internal or external drives. The external frives have an enclosure to hold the drives. Otherwise they are the same. You can buy empty enclosures into which you would put your drive, if you have an internal drive you want to use as an external drive.

  • How can I install after a hard drive failure with only upgrade disk?

    I've been using Photoshop since 1998 but my HDD recently suffered a complete failure and I've had to change the drive. Unfortunately, I don't have my original Photoshop disk, only a CS2 and CS5 upgrade disk (with both serial numbers). Is there any way round this problem? Many thanks in advance for any replies.

    Welcome to the forum.
    My upgrade path started with Ps version 2.5. That was the last full version, that I had. All the rest were upgrades from there, though to CS 2.
    When I went to install CS 2, I was asked for the CS version. I had both the upgrade disc and the S/N (my S/N's went through a couple of iterations, over the decades). In my case, the CS version disc was inserted, found and the installation went smoothly.
    Now, while I have CS 5 (and 5.5 and 6), I never installed CS 5, it was just part of the upgrade path, to get me to CS 6 at the end. With my CS 5 S/N, CS 6 installed fine.
    That was what worked for me, and I hope will work for you too. Keep that CS 2 disc handy, as you might need to insert that into the multi-drive, at a point in the CS 5 installation.
    The one worry that I would have, with an HDD failure, would be Activation, as you probably did not Deactivate Ps, before that failure. For that, should you be up against your allowed Activations, you will likely want to call Adobe Customer Support, and explain your problem. They should be able to reset the Activations, and help you.
    Good luck,

  • Acrobat Viewer - How can I install?

    Hello.
    I am using a Unix OS with no Acrobat Reader to download.
    However there is this Java-Based Acrobat viewer I could download.
    I downloaded the all Java-enabled OS variant as well as the Windows variant.
    I tried to install
    - the all Java-enabled OS variant under Unix (JRE 1.5.1)
    - the all Java-enabled OS variant under Windows XP (JRE 1.4.2)
    - the Windows-only variant under Windows XP
    I called the installer with "root" rights (Unix) / from a user account with local administrator rights (Windows).
    In all three cases the installer failed; under Unix the installer simply hangs; under Windows both installers (all OS and Windows-only) give an error message.
    How can I install Acrobat Viewer ?
    Thanks.
    Martin

    You'll need to be more specific in your query. When you say, a Unix OS, what kind of an OS are you running? Are you aware that the Adobe Reader is now available on x86 Linux, SPARC Solaris, RISC HP-UX and AIX?
    I don't know if the Java based version is supported.

  • How can i install solaris10 on my pc with winxp

    hello
    i m completely new to this os. can anyone let me know "how can i install solaris10 with winxp on second partion. is it as simple as installing two windows together. how much space will solaris require(i have only 40gb hard disk ).

    Fdisk your hard disk and create two partitions
    Install Windows as normal onto the first partition
    Install Solaris onto the second - Solaris will install a bootloader which will allow you to select which OS to boot if you carry out the installs in that order.

  • How can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements Update 9.0.3 after I get a message that Installation has failed and the solution is not in troubleshooting or forums?

    My Photoshop Elements 9 stopped working a couple of weeks ago. When I clicked the PSE button nothing happened. I tried this several times over a few days and it still failed. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it. It worked well. Then I tried to install the Update 9.0.3. The download was almost successful. When it was about to show 100% successful for the download, an error message said the installation had failed and that I should try later. I tried this many times over a few days and the same result occurred. I tried troubleshooting and the answers to questions, but I could not find an answer. I don't know where to go to see if anybody has answered my question. How can I install Update 9.0.3?

  • How can I install Adobe Reader 11 to a drive other than C:\?

    I downloaded Reader 11, but at no point during the installation process am I prompted for an installation location.  How can I install this to a drive other than the C:\?  I keep my C:\ and data storage drive separate so in the event the OS crashes I won't lose my data.  I have limited storage capacity since I'm on a laptop so I didn't make my C:\ very large, so that I would have more room for my D:\.  Any suggestions?
    Sincerely,
                    LT Gannon

    having data on a different drive is a good idea.  installing programs on a drive different from you os containing drive is generally not a good idea.  but if you have the expertise and are sure of what you're doing:

    Hold down the Option key while you boot your Mac. Then, it should show you a selection of devices. Click your flash drive and it will boot from that.
