Step-1:
Burning Solaris 10 (x86) ISO images with Nero 6 is almost identical with burning FreeBSD 5.4 and Fedora Core 4 with Nero 6. A short tutorial is also provided on the Solaris 10 download page. Here I will show you how to burn Solaris 10 (x86) ISO images with the popular CD/DVD burning software Nero 6 on Windows platform.
First you have to download all Solaris 10 (x86) ISO images from Solaris 10 download page. Please note that, you will have to get registered yourself first and then login with your user name and password to download those ISO images. There are 4 core ISO images and 2 optional ISO images. ISO images are packed in ZIP format. So, you will need to download them first and then unzip them to get the ISO images. The core 4 files are labeled something like sol-10-GA-x86-v1-iso.zip, sol-10-GA-x86-v2-iso.zip, sol-10-GA-x86-v3-iso.zip and sol-10-GA-x86-v4-iso.zip. After downloading and unzipping those four ISO images for Solaris 10, try opening them using WinRAR. If they are opening without showing any error, they are not corrupted. It is safe now to burn CDs with those ISO images. If any of the images show an error while you try opening it, you must re-download that specific ISO image.
I really search a lot, but I did not find any MD5 checksum for Solaris 10 on Sun's web site. I do not know where they are! Please let me know if you find them.
Step-2:
Open Nero 6, the wizard will appear. Click on the Cancel button. Now from the Recorder menu, click on the Burn Image... sub menu. Picture given below:
Open the directory where you downloaded Solaris 10 ISO images. Now select the first ISO image (sol-10-GA-x86-v1-iso.iso) and click on the Open button. Picture given below:
After opening the ISO image, you will see the dialog below:
Select Disc-at-once/96 for Write method. I selected 8x (1,200 KB/s) for Write speed. You can select a higher value though. Now click on the Burn button. Follow the same instruction for burning the next ISO image on CD. After all the ISO images successfully burned with Nero 6, have a look at their contents with Windows Explorer. Picture given below:
That's it. Run your Solaris 10 installer with the first bootable disc, which is sol-10-GA-x86-v1-iso.iso. You should get a similar output given below:
You do not have to worry about creating a boot disc. It will boot automatically. You have to select CD Rom Drive as the First Boot Device from your BIOS setup though.
