Question How to utilize the 2nd hard disk space in x86 solaris 5.10

I have 2 hard disks ,one hard disk(40gb) completely for windows Os,and the other(120gb) for solaris Os.

In the second hard disk.I have utilised around 10gb for the solaris installation and also partitioned with the available 10gb space for the solaris x86 OS.

Now i need to utilise the remaining unused & unpartitioned space on the 120gb hard disk.

Is it possible to add the space to the solaris partition now.Iam able to utilise the unused space for the windows.How to do it for the solaris.Can someone help me?

Regards,
SmilieN.Jayaprakash
