thank you

At what point you are getting the message of "it is saying unable to create primary partition'

Out if these theree partitions which one you are trying to select for solaris installation?

If you have Partition Magic available than I will suggest to 1st make a new Solaris partition from Windows before proceeding for Solaris installation

currently i have 3 primary partitions.... but i am unable to create onemore partition for installing opensolaris.....
when i am trying to install opensolaris using LIVE..CD....
i am unable to install....
it is saying unable to create primary partition......
and moreover , i heard that many of the people are saying that we cant create 4 primary partitions in one HDD.....is it true...
please help me out.....
waiting for your valuable suggestions........

It should allow you , as far as I remember, you can't create more than 4 primary partitions on one disk.

Are you sure that you don't already have 4 primary partitions ?

confirm the partitions from task manager by right clicking the hard drive and then populating the volumes. or it will be even better if you use some tool like partition magic

ok thank u
i hope it helps to me to install opensolaris....
thank you.....
have a nice day
