How do you get CDROM burned inside a Windows environment to read on a Sun Sparc Computer (Solaris 8). I need the information off the CD and I don't know how to convert it.

you need to write CD with HPFS information. For example Nero Burning ROM can do this but you need to have live connection to HPFS volume to read information.
It's like you have two choices:
1. to read it on Win and transfer info by LAN or via HDD or some way
2. to find out burning software for San with recognition of different formats

Im not really sure if this works in Solaris but it does in Linux. Had the exact same problem. Installed Samba and Star Office and mount the cdrom and read the disk. This worked for me on a Linux box. I hope it works for you.
