Hi there, I am new and need help in dual-booting Opensolaris 2009-06 with windows xp pro. My HDD is 150G. Out of which 50G is primary partition on which Windows Xp pro is installed and the rest of the HDD is logically partitioned in 3 again.In that 2 of them have data and 3rd one is empty ( all of them are NTFS ). I intend to install the Opensolaris on 3rd partition which has 16G of space and is totally unused.
I boot from the disk, it loads the live cd and I get to the desktop in opensolaris and I continue the installation. However now the Opensolaris can see my Hard Drive as having only 2 partitions, one being the 50G primary ( XP one ) and the other being close to 100G , and it does not show the 3 partitions in that 100G space as mentioned above. I do not want to lose data on my other partitions. It lets me select that 100G space for Solaris partition (wanting to turn the whole of 100G to Solaris FS) but with a warning of deleting all the data. Please help me , how can I not lose any data but also have my windows XP running and Opensolaris installed one that unused 16G partition. Shashi~ -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
