HP-UX Installation problem from CD

[Becke]

Hi Guys,

I'm installing HP-UX from the CD and getting following error:

"ISL Booting INSTALL
Resetting Boot Device
Error returned from boot device
driver -
STATUS returned from driver = -3
Information returned from driver
00000000 00000000
00000000 00000000
Boot Device error : reading utility into Auto-execute file is inconsistent.
Auto boot aborted."

Please advise on how to rectify the above error..

Thanks in advance.

Is the CD media corrupt ? Look for any scratches and clean them .. Also worth reading this thread,

Possible reasons could be
1. You got corrupted CD try using another installation set.
2. You got faulty CD drive, try replacing the drive

Guys,
It was a faulty cd drive and once I have replaced it, it all worked O.K
