"Bad checksum in disk label" & "Can't open disk label package"

807559Jan 23 2007 — edited Apr 7 2009
Hello,

I'm brand new to Sun/Solaris.
I have a Sun Blade 150, with SunOS 5.8.
I wanted to make a backup to prevent future data loss, so I put the disk in a normal PC with Windows XP to try to make a backup with Norton Ghost, the disk was detected, but not the file volume, so I place the disk on a desktop PC, and used Norton Ghost for DOS, the disk was recognized but once again not the file volume, so I wasn't able to make a disk backup, and I quit.
Put back the disk on the Sun Blade 150 PC, and then I was unable to startup the PC, showing the message "Bad checksum in disk label" and "Can't open disk label package".

What's wrong?
How can I solve this?
I need the data that's inside the hard-disk, so I cannot make a clean install, and i also don't have any install CD.

Thanks for any help,

JS
