fresh irix installation



hello all,

my O2 had a hd crash, and few days ago i found a hd to replace the old
one.
the problem is that i lost the installation cds..

a friend gave me some nero images of Irix 6.5.26 Installation Tools
And Overlays (3 cds), but i dont know how to install.
when i boot the O2, select from the graphics screen "install system
software", select "from local cdrom", it prompts to insert the system
cdrom.
after this, i get the following message:

dks0d1s0: volume header not valid
swap partition (0) is not a valid swap area.
Press <enter> to return to the menu:

i burned the images using nero, at a low speed.

So, how can install the system again on my O2 ?


thank you very much in advance,

George
