How does one Create Bootable DVD from downloaded iso image in Windows?

I have a completely empty system I want to load Solaris Express on. I have access to web on a Windows XP machine and have downloaded the Solaris iso image. Using WindowsXP facilities simply copies the iso image as an intact iso image file and resulting disc is not bootable. Windows knowledge base very conveniently says that what happened to me is what happens. No obvious referral to how to do it....
A) So for a non-Windows savy person who does not want to become Windows savy (That is why I downloaded Solaris!) Where is a set of instructions on how to (inside Windows XP) "extract" an iso image to a CD / DVD disk so it will be bootable?
B) It sure would be nice if Solaris were able to be loaded onto a USB Flash drive and booted at will from any USB computer. Just plug it in and boot. Has this been done?
C) Getting a physical disk by snail mail from Sun is very slow for me.... (3 weeks and still watching the mail box...)

You probably copied the .iso file as one single very large file onto media. Instead, you can use a utility such as Roxio DVD Creator or Nero (or freeware like cdrecord) , and select the option to burn an image that already exists. No special boot options are needed, because the ISO image already contains the boot information needed.

Has this been done?With the Newboot project introduced into Solaris Express, I believe it is now possible. I'm not a USB expert, though, so cannot say for sure.

  • Creating CD's from downloaded ISO images

    Hi
    I've downloaded the 3 ISO images for Solaris 8 2/04 (for sparc). I've unzipped the install file & tried to burn it using Nero6. Only 146KB is used on the CD..Can some-1 tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    If you are referring to the first installation-CD, this is just actually
    equivalent to boot-floopy disk to boot the PC and configure it.
    The succeeding CDs contain the actual OS installation and they
    should be euqivalent to the size of a 700MB cdrom more or less.

  • How does one email a video from iPhoto

    how does one email a video from iPhoto

    One doesn't.
    Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
    Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays.  That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
    Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
    Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind  to Original.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
    Other than that your options include:
    Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentioned, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
    Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

  • How does one create their own interpolation

    I am currently working on a tile-based environment in which the user controls a tank. I have been attempting to use interpolators to smooth out the movement between tiles, but I have had a lot of trouble acheiving the desired effects. From what I have gathered from various posts is that the interpolator classes are only useful for repeating animations (please correct me if this statement is wrong).
    My question then is:
    How does one create their own or methods which simulates the interpolation behavior; I am particularly interested in the PositionInterpolator for translating the missles fired by the tank.
    I attempted to do this several times, but I have failed. Here is one of my attempts:
    public void fire()
         show(); //show the missle geometry
         int TRANSLATION_TIME = 1000; //blast alive for 5 seconds
         float DISTANCE = 20.0f; //missle travels a distance of 20 units
         //interpolate path
         long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
         long endTime = startTime +TRANSLATION_TIME;
         long interval = endTime - startTime;
         float translationPercent;
         float lastTransPercent = 0;
         float dist;
         Transform3D translate = new Transform3D();
         while(System.currentTimeMillis() < endTime && !collision)
         interval = System.currentTimeMillis() - startTime;
         translationPercent = (float)interval/TRANSLATION_TIME;
         dist = DISTANCE*(translationPercent - lastTransPercent);
         lastTransPercent = translationPercent;
         translate.setTranslation(new Vector3f(0.0f, 0.0f, -dist));
         interpolate(translate);
    public void interpolate(Transform3D translate)
         Transform3D t3d = new Transform3D();
         missleTG.getTransform(t3d);
         t3d.mul(translate);
         missleTG.setTransform(t3d);     
    What happens using this code is that the missle just waits at its initial location until the TRANSLATION_TIME has passed, and then jumps to the final position -- the missle does not smoothly translate to the final location. Are there any explainations out there for this behaviors.
    -Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I'm also working on a game environment where the user can move around in a spaceship and fire missiles etc...
    I haven't looked much at interpolators, but I use Behaviors for everything I need to move/rotate/scale...
    You can for example create your own behavior (by extending the Behavior class) and set it up to move the missile when you press a specific key, or when any other kind of event takes place...
    You should check the documentation for the Behavior class.
    Hope this helps...

    How does one remove temporary files from Safari?  A friend logged on to her Facebook account using my iMac running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and Safari 6.1.6.  Now I can't remove her e-mail address from my computer.  When I open Facebook her address shows in the user button.  I do not have a Facebook account.  It was suggested to me that I try clearing temporary files from Safari but I can't find anything that tells me how to do this.  Are temporary files the same as the cache?  It also was suggested that I try clearing Safari cache.  How do I do that?

    Check Safari/Preferences/Passwords to see if the Facebook account is there. If so, select it and remove it. If you are still having problems, Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. If that doesn't work, Safari/Reset Safari.

    In general, in imovie Share to Media Browser or Share to iTunes.
    Then open iDVD. Open the Media Browser in iDVD (at bottom right of window). Navigate to your movies and you should see the movie you made. Drag it in to the iDVD project.

  • How does one upload a file from flex to a cfc

    How does one upload a file from flex to a cfc?   Can you do the file upload via remote object? I usually do uploads cia cfm but prefer the asnc capabilities of remote object calls.

    Hi,
    The issue here is myFile. For flex we need to pass this name as paramenter becuase it's not html form item like:
    <cfcomponent>
        <cffunction name="uploadFile" access="remote" output="false" returntype="void">
        <cfargument name="file" required="Yes" type="any">
            <cffile action="upload" filefield="#arguments.file#" destination="C:\temp\" nameconflict="makeunique">
        </cffunction>
    </cfcomponent>
    From flex I'm getting the file using fileReference like:
    private function browseAndUpload():void
                    fileReference = new FileReference();
                    fileReference.addEventListener(Event.SELECT,fileReference_Select);
                    fileReference.addEventListener(Event.CANCEL,fileReference_Cancel);
                    fileReference.browse();
                private function fileReference_Select(event:Event):void
                    fileReference.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,fileReference_Progress);
                    fileReference.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fileReference_Complete);
                    fileReference.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,onLoadError);
                    //fileReference.upload(request);
                    fileName = fileReference.name;
                    myFile.htmlText = fileReference.name;
                    SM_RO.importNSA();
    filerReference have an upload method to upload the file but I can't use that becuase I need to process my upload with my cfc.
    I'm getting an error:
    Failed to import the file. The cffile action="upload" requires forms to use enctype="multipart/form-data". Please also make sure the file is not open.
    I can't find the way to setup the enctype becuase again i can have html form items in flex, or I can?
    Thanks

    Does adobe have a product that can burn a dvd from an iso image?
    (The ISO image is not video, it is software).
    and
    Does adobe have a way to mount an ISO image to a virtual drive?
    (Again not video)
    I have encore, but have never used it. Im not sure what it does.
    I assume it deals with dvd video but maybe it can handle ISO images.

  • How does one update Subtemple value from Yes to No?

    Greetings! In the instructions of a published problem statement (Note ID: 808571.11) there is a line that says:
    "c) Check if the subtemplate is set to NO. Update it to NO if it is set to Yes."
    How does one update the Subtemplate value from Yes to No? In edit configuration, I do not see a Subtemplate value column.
    Many thanks in advance fr your suggestions.
    Tom

    With all due respect ... I do not see how one can change the Subtemplate value from Yes to No. When I query the offending Template, the Subtemplate column is not displayed in bold, indicating to me that it can not be updated. Clicking on Edit Configuration, doe not provide an ability to change the value either.
    As best I can determine, one needs to 1) query up the template
    2) download the rtf file(s)
    3) end date the template
    4) create a new template and then set the Subtemplate value to No.
    And the same steps appear to be required in order to add or update a template Description.
    Which raises the question, Why can this not be done by editing the configuration?

  • How does one create LOV Map between 2 fields for custom lookup mapping

    Hi there
    In Internet Expenses, Expense Report Line Detail we have two unrelated fields; namely Expense Location & Tax Code.
    The requirement is to map a default tax code to locations; basically when a user enters Expense Location then the mapped tax code value should default into field Tax Code.
    The location-tax code mapping is stored in a custom lookup (FND_LOOKUP_VALUES).
    My question is how does one go about implementing this?  For example is it possbile to create a new (hidden) LOV based on the lookup mapping & then create a Personalization LOV Mapping between the 3 LOV...  Or is it necessary to modify the Tax Code drop down Message Choice in JDeveloper?  Of course details are appreciated!
    FYI below is the relevant Personalization Structure from "Personalize Stack Layout: (NormalDetails)".
    Message Lov Input: Expense Location
    - Lov Mappings
    -- Lov Map: (lovMap1)
    -- Lov Map: (lovMap2)
    -- Lov Map: (lovMap3)
    - Message Text Input: Expense Location
    - Message Styled Text: Transaction Location
    - Message Text Input: Merchant Name Yes
    - Message Styled Text: Description
    - Message Check Box: Original Receipt Missing Yes
    - Message Choice: Tax Code
    - Message Check Box: Amount Includes Tax
    - Message Choice: Tax Code
    Many thanks
    G

    Hello all
    The correct & supported method is this:
    Extend the location LOV in JDeveloper & add a "default tax" attribute, this could be derived from a new location DFF storing the default tax code for each location. Now simply create a location Personalization LOV Map which takes this new location lov tax attribute & target it to the tax message choice field.
    That's my 2c worth anyway, so please give comment if you feel there is a better way.
    There is just one more little problem however... The requirement has changed! Now we require the tax code to default according to not one location field, but other fields too. For example if the user selects Expense Type of Beverage & Location of Netherlands then Tax Code should be NL19%, for Expense Type of Hotel then it should be NL6%; if the user ticks "Missing Receipt" field then it should over ride all others & set the code to NL0%.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks
