Hi Jags,

It's CR6643566 [Can't install SXDE due to fdisk error in snv_79/snv_80 for Vista 
partition. <http://monaco.sfbay/detail.jsp?cr=6643566>]

There is a workaround that users have to manually run fdisk to create
Solaris_2 partition. I think the main reason here is fdisk CLI that installer 
used could not handle Vista partition.

Let me know if you need more information.

Regards,
Fiona.

hi everyone

I'm trying to install Solaris Express Dev Edition on the [b]3rd Partition 
(15GB)[/b] on a HP Desktop 763n with

Windows Vista Ultimate installed on 1st Partition (40GB),
Ubuntu 7.10 installed on 2nd Partition (15GB).
4th Partition is Linux Swap (2GB) and
2.5GB is unallocated space. ( HD size: 74.5GB)

After reaching 5% installation fails. Installation log says: Cannot create 
duplicate fdisk partitions (c1d0) .

Previously before installing Ubuntu, I tried to install Solaris Express on 
[b]2nd partition (15GB)[/b] and installation was failing similarly and 
installation log said:
Not enough free space to create Solaris fdisk partition (c1d0) [ also after 
installation reaching 5% ]

Before starting installation I did run Solaris Express installation check tool 1.2 ( 
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/install_check_sx.html ) and it said Solaris 
Express can be installed on this HP desktop. [ HP 763n Pentium-4 2.5 GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 
128MB nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, HP DVD writer, Dell 20" LCD ]

Any help is greatly appreciated. (By the way, Vista Ultimate & Ubuntu are 
working fine. At system start up I do get options to load Ubuntu / Vista)
