Try reburning the CD and turn the burn speed down to the slowest setting. The cd drive may be having issues reading the disk. I have seen this with older drives no liking a CD burned at high speeds. The drive I burned in was used to verify the disk checksum but the target drive was very unhappy. Ran the burn speed to 2x and all went fine.<br>
<br>I seem to recall this a media problem and not really an old drive problem.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 5:33 PM, Scott Castaline <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hscast@charter.net">hscast@charter.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

playing around with opensolaris 200811 on virtualbox. the image file as<br>

is that when I try to boot on the actual physical machine I get know<br>

I'll get Error 25: Disk read error. I have just tried it on another<br>
system and it'll boot fine. The HCL has mention of a MoBo similar to<br>
mine as working, what else could be interfering with it?<br>
