Hi all,

I had solaris installed earlier hoping to create a new partition ,i was checking out smc..
Here i accidentally entered to create a new partition but no sooner than i did it,i had a power cut and after that my partition table got corrupted ,i guess...
Having no choice i first installed xp...
I have a 250gb HD, so 10gb was allocated to C: then 20 to D:,
about 90 remaining gb was just formatted and kept...
The remaining space was left as RAW..

Now from this RAW space which showed some 100gb or so,i selected 60gb and created my slices,(during the solaris disk setup itself) and installed ,but after the installation i was able to log into solaris and the windows opt was shown at the grub menu...
(Ever since this mishap i am not being able to install frm c0d0..
Its always c1d0)
However when i tried booting it,
i get this error "unable to locate disk"....
press ctrl+alt+del to restart...

This happened to me 2 times since i screwed up my system??
I want to know how i can retrieve xp back even when solaris installed?

Pls help me ,its urgent!!
This is what it says in menu.lst

title windows
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1

This is not # so i know its being detected...
Could anyone pls help me resolving this issue?

Thanks

Dude...........
In intel machines solaris is prefferd only 1st or second non-dos partitions.
already u partition c and D drives in that disk.
Do one thing..1st u install c drive for 10/20gb(for win OS).
after completion of win os, restart the system and insert the solaris cd/dvd,
there only u give ur space for soalris(40/50gb as per ur requirement/comfortable).
after completion of ur solaris os installtion,
go to windows os and right click on my computer and go to manage.
here ur having storage ---> disk mangement, here u create any other drives like d,e,f and so on.
These are the step by step procedure for installtion of dual os in intel based machines.

My suggestion is loged in to Solaris and configure Grub Menu, because your Windows OS Path in Menu.lst is incorrect. After that restart your machine and you can enter to both OS without any problem. I had such problem and corrected just Grub configuration.
