Question Dual Boot between UNIX and Windows
I am planning to install UNIX (SunOS) on my computer which has two hard disks C: and D:

C drive already have operating system which has windows installed on it and I use it on daily basis.

D drive is empty and has like 40GB space, I want to partition D: by half half and want install UNIX on 20GB partition and hence want to use dual boot from either UNIX or windows.

I do not know how to partition D: into half half (I think currently it has NTFS and act as primary partition).

Any suggestion would be helpful to me.

Thanks,

If you install, for example, Linux, you can use lilo to configure the boot-time configuration.
