You should be using ether matched sets of memory ether 2 1gig or 2 512m chips. > How do I solve my LCD screen problem? > What does your prtconf -v and your /usr/X11/bin/scanpci output, with this we can see of there is a driver you could use in the existing /etc/driver_aliases driver entry. > If anything goes wrong at the time of Installing Open > Solaris, I do I recover my HDD? I already lost one HDD You should see the vista entry in your /boot/grub/menu.lst and you can manage with bootadm( see man page) to boot back into vista and run a recovery mode, provided you did not erase the ntfs fdisk partition totaly, (assuming you just shrunk it to make room for the Solaris2 fdisk partition). you can see the existance of the fdisk partition by using: fdisk /dev/rdsk/cXdXp0 where X is your / df -k dev entry. it is ether c0d0p0 or c1d0p0. Also if your not on line with the Ethernet, the same process could be used for the nic as well. This message posted from opensolaris.org
