Bad PBR Sig Operating System Not Found...why ?
Well i install successfully Solaris on my Second Hard disk, although i had to make it primary Master and my orignal hard disk as pirmary slave, because solaris will not let Windows on primary master.
Anyway after installation when i try to boot from hard disk , it shows message
bad PBR Sig Operating System Not Found
what the reason could be ?
I cannot boot solaris even after it showed message, installation completed successfully.
Any comments ?
