I am having a strange problem that I have no idea how to work around. 

First, I have a two partitions, a Vista partition and a Linux partition (Mint, 
if it matters) and dual booting works like a charm and I haven't had any 
problems. Vista was installed first (NTFS), then Linux Mint (ext3). 

SO, I am trying to install Solaris 10 8/07 and I get to a page right after 
confirming that I will manually remove the CD after reboot etc etc etc, and it 
comes to a screen asking me to select a drive to install Solaris onto. Well, 
when I select that drive, I get a message that says this:

"The FDISK on this drive is not suitable for a Solaris install. The partitions 
on this drive are out of order. The higher numbered partition begins with a 
lower numbered cylinder and vice versa." 

Uh....OK. How would that have happened, and what can I do to solve this without 
doing anything to my Vista and Linux partitions?

Thanks a LOT for your help in advance.
