Well, I have tried to boot from OpenSolaris cd and reload the grub...I couldn't, maybe I just don't know how to do that. I came up with a different solution - I have an old USB drive (150Gig), so I installed OpenSolaris on it. I had to change the boot sequence so that the computer boots from the USB drive first. I hoped to be able to see the original partition on the hard drive and simply copy my data from there. Then I could override the original partition and I am done... Well, now I see in the places/computer the "rpool" that would not mount. I assume that must be the hard drive with old OpenSolaris, linux and swap partitions....but for some reason this "rpool" would not mount. I hope I will be able to to it that way...any suggestions?
By the way, thanks for all the tips so far. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
