I am trying to install Solaris 10 on the Virtual PC, but it won't boot from the CDROM. I have try so many other boot CDs, and they did not work either :) . Can you help me please?


can u boot anything with virtual pc?

did u try winxp cd?

does vpc allow unix installs?

try vmware..

go into to the bios when your virtual os boots and verify that cdrom is 1st in the boot order.

Im not positive but I don't think Virtual PC allows unix/linux installs although it says it can.

I tried it out for a while, but none of my linux installs would work.

Get VMWare and you wont have any probs.. :)

Thank you all for your replies. I have just installed VMWare on my laptop, and it works well with Solaris 10 :) . However, I have a new proplem: Solaris does not recognize the display adapter. The display adapter on my laptop is ATI RADEON IGP 345M. Do you have any idea to fix the problem?

VMware emulates an S3 Trio video card, so that is what you must install drivers for. The guest OS cannot see your real hardware, only what is emulated in the virtual machine.
