The above link should help you out a little. What version did you download? x86/64 or Sparc? How did you create the disc?

That link i have read but didnot help.
i have downloaded X86/64
burn in the disk as ISO , ( i meant, i just did not copy the whole file in dvn, i have burnt as ISO)

Have you seen these links and tried the solution that was suggested?

@Rowley

if you dont mind , i will just asked 2 question then i will close this one ,

1. if i say, you need to have expericence on unix, will you think , the asker is asking about Solrais or other unix version??
2. the download link i attached, is this for Solaris Server ??
