Folks - Apparently that OS release media can't boot from any of the newer ultraspeed CD-RW IDE drives. We got some Sony drives today and those weren't usable either. So I suggest that care is used when purchasing one of the newer drives to be sure that your system can still boot from the OS media. One person did suggest that I look into getting a new drive from Lite-On, but I don't think that'll fix this problem. Perhaps an older drive, but I'd expect not a newer one. :-) Thanks, Debbie Original message: Has anyone else seen this? We have a couple of SunBlade 100 systems with Lite-On CD-RW IDE drives and one of them (the LTR-40125S) won't boot the Solaris 12/02 release CD. It will boot the Solaris 9/02 release while the other drive (LTR-40125S) boots both of them with no problem. Is there any "fix"? -- + Debbie Tropiano -- debbie_at_icus.com -- http://www.icus.com/personal.html + | Mommy to Nathan b: 8/17/1995, ^Sara^ b: 10/25/2000 d: 11/7/2000 & | | Leah b: 10/17/2001 a: 9/26/2002 "God shows His opposition to cancer and | | birth defects, not by eliminating them or making them happen only to bad | | people (He can't do that), but by summoning forth friends and neighbors | + to ease the burden and to fill the emptiness." -- Harold S.
