Question Dual Boot Solaris 8

Greetings,

I have learned much since joining the message board, but I was unable to locate any information concerning dual booting Solaris with Windows on a machine with standardized equipment. I have read on the sun.com page that it is possible and can even be pushed to the rear partition, but "is it a good idea"? I don't want to hose my entire system, and I don't have the convienence at this time to purchase a removeable drive bay. Any information on making Solaris and Windows boot on the same drive please advise.

Greatly appreciated,
Edge

Response

I've read all the threads to every forum reguardless of wether or not it applied to my question. I find it hard to believe that not one of 37 times of my question being viewed that anyone does not know the answer or is not willing to share it. Am I being impatient, or is it because this is my first post? Please advise. I have continued research on this issue and only found that it is possible. What I "NEED" to know is what are the chances of it working properly?

Again Thanks,
Edge
