I installed the same version on the same machine (only one IDE disk)
yesterday and it worked.

I used it also. Is it an ISO image that you downloaded and burned or a
CD someone gave you?

I'm almost sure that the CD is corrupted or the drive is dead.

If the drive works fine with Solaris, I suggest to download an ISO
image, check it has been properly downloaded and burn it with utmost
precautions (slow speed, clean drive, etc).
