Hi Collins Thanks for ur very fast response. >Last time I had this problem, I fixed it be making the second partition >a Linux swap (same id as Solaris) partition and the installer was happy. Basically I understood what u meaned above. But I would like to confirm just to make sure only: Based on what I understood ur advice, I will do as follows on first disk: 1) I leave win 2008 partition untouched. 2) I will format entire second partition so as it will become swap partition. 3) Boot to SXCE DVD disk for starting installation on second partition.
Sorry to bother you. But could you confirm my understanding is correct or not?
