Solaris 10 Installation - Help Needed Please

Hi,
I have just downloaded a copy of Solaris 10 and I cannot get it to install on my system.
At the moment I am using the GUI to try and install the OS. I can get past the part where you select the language 0 for english.... It then thinks about it for a bit and display the error message "No Disks Found, make sure they are cabled and connected". I then get put into the terminal window.
My system spec is as follows:
Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard
Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 160GB Serial ATA150 Hard Disk.
LG CD Burner
LG DVD Burner
XP installed on half the hard disk. Nothing on the other partition.
I don't really know what I am doing wrong, so any advice would be gratefully recieved. This is the first time I have tried to install Solaris so it doesn't matter how basic the instructions are. I could do with keeping the XP installation, but it is not essential.
Is it possible to get Solaris to dual boot?

Refer to this link in the Solaris 10 documentation:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5177/6mbbc4g3d?a=view
Follow it for more info on setting up SATA support. As for dual booting, it should be possible with something like grub.

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

    Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable")  and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
    I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
    If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

  • New Hard drive, can't access certain aspects. Help needed please

    Hi everyone.
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea laptop.
    I've been having problems with the hard drive so got a new one installed.
    My main issues are since getting it back, I can't access any of the original HP installations etc (I've downloaded all the drivers I know about through HP).
    The 2 main things I'm missing are 2 things that came with the laptop.
    1: Beats Audio sound system 
    2: Video Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6490M (1 GB DDR5)
    and I have no idea how to get them back. Can anyone help. Do I need to install specific drivers? I can't find any trace that they exist on my laptop now apart from the stickers on the laptop! Any help is greatly appreciated. 
    I never had any CD back ups for the laptop. I do have the old HP back up etc saved on a USB but I don't know enough about the folders and files to know what I need to look for. (I still have the old hardrive.)
    Again, any help is massively appreciated. Thank you!
    Tony 

    If you used your HP Recovery Media, all factory install drivers and software would have been installed. If you didn't create your HP Recovery Media when you first setup your computer, please contact official HP support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, to see if HP Recovery Media is available for your computer.
    If a generic Windows 7 installation disc was used, you will need to install all HP specific driver for your computer. Please try IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver, Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver, and AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver to resolve your missing drivers issues. Windows 7 64-bit driver for your computer can be found on the HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page.

  • MP3 burning help needed please

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me please.
    I'm wanting to burn a mp3 cd but with the songs in separate folders so that when i play them in my car i can flick between the albums instead of having to go through all the singles one after another.
    Does anyone know of a good mp3 burner that can do this, and where to get it from too.
    All and any help in this matter is greatly appreciated
    Cheers
    Paul

    You want them in separate Album folders?
    Put the songs into the playlist.
    Sort the playlist by Album then burn it as MP3* disc.
    This will put the songs into Album folders.
    Likewise, if you sort by Artist, songs will be put into Artist/Album/ folders.
    * Note that only MP3 files will be burned to the disc. If the files are not already MP3 format, they will be skipped.
    If you burn it as a DataCD, it wil work the same except it will copy the files regardless of format. I do this as my CD player will work with both AAC & MP3 formats.

  • Help needed please - OS  installation

    Hello, I don't own an apple computer yet, I am thinking of purchasing a second hand one with no OS on it for christmas, my question is, if I install the OS bought from a retail store and I install to my machine, will the software ask me to supply a registration KEY like a Windows installation.
    I don't have any idea about apple mac's but would like to learn.
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers

    "... I asked, I wish to buy apple mac OS leopard from ebay and I want to make sure it is genuin disks."
    You need to confirm with the seller that they are not machine specific disks (gray) and they are retail disks not upgrade disks either. There is no registration key. Apple operates on the honor system. Which version of Leopard 10.5 will they install? You won't be able to install a version less than the version that originally shipped with the mac you are referring to. Why have you not gotten the disks that came with the Mac you are purchasing? The owner is required to furnish those to you.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 installation error on windows causing rollback-help needed please

    I am installing Photoshop Elements 12 on my windows laptop. When almost done an error occurs and it starts rollback and the installation fails. I consulted the troubleshooting guide which suggests to go to C://Program Files(x86)/Common Files/Adobe/OOBE/PDApp and delete the files PDAppFlex.swf and PDAppFlex-app.xml .I have managed to go to Program Filesx86, Common Files, Adobe, but then the folder OOBE is absent. Within the Adobe folder I have AAMUpdaterinventry, Acrobat, Acrobat PCD, Help, PCF, SL Cache and Updater6. The files suggested to delete before retrying installation are not present in any of these folders.
    Has anybody any ideas on what I should do in order to complete my installation.
    Thanks very much,
    Tim

    Without proper detailed system information nobody can know what is going on. Also try to find the pertinent info from the install logs.

  • Help! Lost my installation CD for my 0404 USB. Urgent! Help needed please!

    Hi all,
    Please could someone send me or provide a link to the installation drivers for the 0404 USB for Windows XP? I am really desparate and have looked EVERYWHERE I can think of on the internet with no luck.
    History:
    I reorganised the cabling around my PC, and in doing so, somehow my USB hub seems to have stopped working. When I plugged my 0404 directly into a USB hub on the PC it didn't recognise it. So I thought I'd uninstall and reinstall the software. Then I realised I had lost my installation CD, and then found that E-MU / Creative websites don't have the original installation drivers that come on the CD on their website. This has completely warped my feelings about this company in one fell swoop. Having been very happy for prob 2 years with the E-MU 0404 to find that they have seemingly intentionally left off these drivers from their site and therefore wasted probably 2 hours of my time in the last 24 hours is maddeningly frustrating.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance,
    David

  • Importing XML into Java.  Help needed Please!!!

    Hi,
    I have downloaded j2sdk1.4.1_05 and want to configure it to import XML files into a DOM in Java. I am having trouble doing this and need help. I read that version 1.4 support JAXP 1.1 but I am having trouble finding the JAXP-api.jar file. It says to put all the other Jar files into a folder and leave the JAXP-api.jar.
    Could you please tell me how to set up Java so that I can import an XML file. I also downloaded JAXP 1.2. But there seems to be no installer.
    Thanx John

    You can learn about reading xml in java by reading the J2EE tutorial at
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/
    Here is sample program to read XML file into a DOM taken from this tutorial

  • Upgrading Mail from 10.3.9 to 10.4.8 Server - Help Needed, Please

    Hi
    I posted a message a few weeks back with regard to this topic, but have had no replies. I don't seem to be any further on in solving this on my own, so I'm posting again in the hope that someone will be able to assist.
    I have an Xserve G4 running 10.3.9 which is a Open Directory Master, PDC and also acts as a Mail Server for our domain. The system software is installed on one 60gb drive in the Xserve and the Mail Store is on a second drive. All the Windows clients can log into the domain and their mail is on IMAP using Outlook as their client.
    I am now installing a second server in another office, and obviously this will be a new XServe running 10.4. I would like to make this an Open Directory Replica but now need to upgrade the first server to 10.4 before I can do this.
    Each attempt has been at the start of a weekend when staff have gone home, so that I can shutdown Mail and clone the Mail Store before proceeding.
    My first attempt was to install a new 10.4 installation onto a drive module and then attempt to upgrade the Mail. I removed the original 10.3.9 startup drive and I cloned the mail store drive before attempting and then followed the instructions given in this article:-
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301656
    When running the first part of this script, I get a socket error and don't seem to be able to get beyond this point.
    Next, I atttempted a straightforward upgrade. To do this, I again cloned the Mail Store onto another Drive Module, and so that I could roll back in case of problems, I also cloned the startup drive. Once this was done, I then removed the original drives for safety, booted and proceeded to upgrade the Server software from 10.3.9 to 10.4 performing all updates along the way.
    When I first booted, I had quite a lot of errors, DNS zones hadn't come over, and I had to kerberize the system, but after doing this and several restarts to cure other problems, all seemed to be OK, but then when I invoked Windows services and tried to log into the domain from a PC client, it failed saying the Domain Controller wasn't available, and the server log shows "Broken Pipe" errors and I cannot seem to resolve these issues. Server admin, also now loses connection with various services at intermittant times and I have to reboot.
    So, my conclusion is that the 10.3.9 installation on this server is way too flaky to be upgraded and I must find another way.
    Ideally, what I would like to do, is install a brand new 10.4 system onto the server, setting up DNS, Open Directory etc etc ensuring that my clients can log into the domain (copying their profile to the new account if necessary) and then upgrade the Mail once it is all stable. Can anyone help me with this by giving me a step by step guide? I am willing to pay for someone who knows how to do this if they can help me with a guide or perhaps even provide remote assistance.
    Thanks in advance

    They've never heard of a G4? That's shocking, perhaps you shouldn't go there anymore :P.
    OS X 10.5 requires at least an 867 MHz G4, unfortunately. You can upgrade to OS X Tiger (10.4) though (Just run software update after installation to get to 10.4.11).
    You can find Tiger cheap on eBay or the likes, note you must buy the full retail version which looks like this:
