Trying to install solaris on my laptop with no success...

842346Feb 23 2011 — edited Mar 2 2011
Tried to install either sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso or sol-11-exp-201011-ai-sparc.iso on my laptop that's got both windows 7 and openSuse installed. I can open the files both with magic disk and undisk. All they do is show me the files that are within the iso of each, but I can't seem to boot. Hell, I can't even copy the images to a disk as the software says it can't! I really don't want to as I have magic ISO that allows me to mount the files as a virtual disk, but as I open those drives, I get the same ol' file contents. I'm expecting the installation wizard to just magically open up, but that's not happening. Can someone shed some light on this problem?
