If you can delete all and start again, then that may be the most reliable approach. Note that there is no need to use a partition manager with Solaris, or to have a small boot parition. Just delete all partitions, Install windows and then solaris. Both windows and Solaris can create and format the partitions in the size you want, and of the correct type. The Solaris boot manager will offer windows as a boot option when started.
If you want to shrink your current windows partition, or clear the whole drive, I suggest a Linux based utility disk such as RIP.. http://www.tux.org/pub/people/kent-robotti/looplinux/rip/.
