Hello Experts, <br />
I want to install Solaris on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop. My laptop already has 3 drives - C:\, D:\ and E:\. Windows XP Pro is inslalled on C:\. <br />
I want to install Solaris on the partition on which D:\ sits. I have deleted all data from that drive. <br />
I also have downloaded free solaris 8 from Sun website. <br />
I understand that I will have to make some changes in BIOS, and have to modify MBR, to give an option in the begining to boot from Solaris or Windows. <br />
<br />
Can anybody help me with that.<br />
Thanks,<br />
LGirdhar <br />

Install Solaris 8 on Intel

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
