Will Old Files Be Removed

I have windows Xp installed, and decided to install Solaris Sun Unix 10. The hard disk was previousely partitioned into 5 partition. C: = Win98 D = WinXP and e,f,g,h are applications and so on. When istalling Sun Unix, will all the drives be removed, or I will specify where to install it. Thanks and I am

Btw: I have already started to install unix. I'm in the step where to choose a language, and he didn't ask me anything since now..... I am more

you are not going to delete any of your data unless u go for a
format or re-partition, if at all by mistake ...

and u are going (must) to install unix in non-dos partition,

which would be identified while installing itself
prompting u to install in unallocated partition...

i believe there is no problems in that.

Thanks for your info, really helpful. But i didn't understand when you said NON-DOS partition? You mean an NTFS partition?

hi

when i said its a non-Dos partition, i meant that the partition is not native to Windows.

though it is not native to windows, u can still install windows OS in a NTFS partition, but the thing is you cannot go for an allocation like C:, D:, E: different drives in windows

if partition type is NTFS only one drive -> entire hard disk space would come under primary drive


as you are installing unix, type of partitions you can make use of is ext2fs, ex3fs, swap etc


the partition types that i have mentioned above are few in numbers. There are many other types of partitions particular to an OS.
