Oh, i regret my mistake...

I have a 250G Hd,
i had windows installed which occupied some 10G, but i dont have it anymore...
Earlier i had installed solaris and i thought i might use windows, so only allocated 60G for it...
But now i feel i can run windows on Virtualbox , so i am planning on formatting the remaining part of my HD and use it for solaris itself....

Could you now tell me how i need to go about it....

PS:windows is no more existing on my system, id rather have it on Vbox
