Vista and Solaris 10, are they compatible?

I have attempted to follow dual boot guides found everywhere, but none tailor specifically to (or eve mention) Vista. This is a problem, because Vista does not use the same method of boot as previous versions of NT.
So far, in my many failed attempts at creating a Vista dual boot, I have experienced this:
When I install Solaris 10 on any partition (Solaris installs correctly and works great), and then attempt to install Windows Vista, Vista says all of my partitions do not meet its requirements for installation (that the drive is NTFS and at least 12 GB is all it tells me). Even after formatting, deleting, recreating, and reformatting a drive, the drive is still unusable. Only after deleting ALL drives, including Solaris 10, and recreating and brand new first partition does Vista allow me to install. If I create a partition that Vista allows me to use, and also a partition to use with Solaris, and THEN install Solaris, the partition that Vista liked can no longer be used!
When I install Windows Vista first (and it works fine) (which is what I tried first and reasoned is what I should be doing), and then install Solaris 10 on a partition (it installs correctlt and works great), I load up my computer and go into the GRUB bootloader. I can select Windows. However, when attempting to load windows, I get an error (in the Vista font by the way) that says my operating system cannot be loaded. When I load my Vista install disc, it cannot find any installations of windows, and it cannot repair the master boot record, saying something like the filesystem is corrupt. However, just as an experiment, I loaded Vista onto the former Solaris drive, and looked at my first partition. Every file was there, intact.
I have attempted this with Windows Home Premium 32 bit, Windows Business 32 bit, and Vista Ultimate x64. I don't want to believe that it's impossible to load Vista and Solaris simultaneously, I've seen as much stating its impossibility as I've seen documents telling me how to do it (<- cold irony).
As long as I can get AN INSTALLATION of Solaris 10 on my machine at the same time I have Vista able to boot, I'm fine, but I seem to have lost on all fronts.

In Solaris Express, this is not an issue, according to this weblog:
http://blogs.sun.com/moinakg/entry/solaris_vista_dual_boot_conclusion
For versions of Solaris Express prior to buid 70, this method was described for creating a dual-boot with the oh-too-picky Windows Vista:
http://linux.wordpress.com/2007/02/17/vista-and-solaris-express-dual-boot/
I am going to assume that setting up a dual-boot with Solaris 10 is similar to, if not the same as, Solaris Express, since the only steps specific to Solaris are the files I copy from Solaris.
I hope this helps anyone else with a problem similar to mine.

  • Mac os x and Sony Ericsson are they compatible

    I have a Cellphone Sony Ericsson W41S, I plugged to iMac 20" PPC and tried to sync it, no luck. How can they communicate with each other? Any solution?
    Thank you
    Luis
    20 iMac G5 PPC 1GB Ram   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   iBook 500, 784 Ram

    Apple has a compatibility list for phones that work together with isync:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    But there are quite some phones that are not on the list but work anyway. So i think your SE phone should be able to connect to your mac.
    But as you can see on the bottom of that site, SE phones can only connect via bluetooth to the mac. So if your phone has bluetooth built in, you should try this.

  • I have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance

    i have a sony handy cam model HDR-HC1 and a mac pro running osx10.9.3, are they compatible? as far as downloading movies from my handy cam. thanks in advance. If not, is there a different route i can take to get those recordings in to my mac pro?

    See if the cam shows up under Devices in the Image Capture app.
    Image Capture is located in your Applications folder.
    Launch Image Capture then connect the camera.
    The camera should show up under Devices top left side of the Image Capture window.
    Now look at the bottom left side of the window. Click the: Connecting this (device) opens: pop up menu and select an application to import your photos.
    You can also select a folder to import photos from the Import To: pop up menu.
    Selet the photos you want to import then click Import or Import All on the right.

  • Is Adobe Dreamweaver and Muse the same as Web Suite?  Are they compatible?

    I currently have Adobe Creative Cloud.  My friend is building me a website using Adode Web Suite.  Is Adobe Dreamweaver and Muse the same as Web Suite?  Are they compatible?

    Dreamweaver is NOT the same as Muse.   These are two very different products aimed at different users.
    Muse is consumer level software for hobbyists and non-coders with little web experience.   Dreamweaver is pro-level software for experienced web developers. Coding skills are essential.  More than likely, your web designer is using Dreamweaver.
    Muse is only available by subscription to the Creative Cloud.  Dreamweaver can be obtained on a single license, in a product suite or by subscription to the Creative Cloud.  See Product Comparison Guide below for details:

  • If I buy creative cloud and save my work to a USB, and another computer only has creative suite, are they compatible?

    I don't know which to buy, creative suite 6, or creative cloud, which seems to have more. but are they compatible with eachother?, if I save work to one and another computer only has the other, can it recognise the other program and I can still use both?

    Those are the collective names for suites for several different software titles. Creative Cloud has about 29 different software titles.
    File format incompatibility affects different software in different ways. Photoshop, Indesign may have issues but Dreamweaver will probably not.

  • If i have model A1811 should/can i download lion in order to get icloud? Are they compatible?

    If i have model A1811 should/can i download lion in order to get icloud? Are they compatible?

    A1811 is simply the white or black plastic case non-Unibody MacBook. Any one of 17 different models.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The model 1,1 cannot run Lion all the others can run Lion but you'll have to max out your RAM and upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard first.
    You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/   I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • Yosemite 10.10.2 server app. FTP help. I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac folder. It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?

    So I have set up a localhost area in my Mac. I have the new server.app and I am running yosemite 10.10.2 .
    I have a program running in my local server enviroment that wants to FTP to my mac .
    It asks for the server , name, password, port and path. what are they?
    I am pretty certain that the Serveris "localhost",
    Name is my macs name (like my-mac-min)
    password is "my login password"
    and they suggest port 21.
    But what is the file path, lets just say my site is set up http://localhost/siteftp and is actually at my Users/Sites/siteftp folder.
    Why cant this program connect to the mac.
    Is it because they are both operating in the same localhost enviroment,
    could it be my folder permissions are not correct on siteftp folder?
    Help please !

    I tried turning the computer off and then back on. The alerts don't show the notice to update as resolved. Hopefully this is not a problem or an indicator or another problem. Should I ignore or reload 10.10.1 from the app store to trigger a resolved check in a green circle?
    Interesting that I had to buy server software after my free Yosemite download. I would have hoped that the two pieces of software would have gone together without any complication. It is not positive to end up buying a problem. Ah well, time to move on.

    Hi Jan,
    For the error "The product version and database version are not compatible", as Emma said, the version number of the Service does not match the database schema version.
    In your scenario, which version of database are you using? Please note that MDS update required after SQL 2012 SP1 installation, please refer to the links below to see the details.

  • I have an iMac, where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?

    I have an iMac,  where are the completed print jobs stored on the iMac and what format are they?
    My OSX is 10.10.1

    Hi
    If you are using standard system or HP drivers, than the jobs contents are not saved at all.
    You can see the list of completed jobs per printer via this URL: http://127.0.0.1:631/printers/
    If you want to save a print job, you can do it in the print dialog, by selecting an action prom "PDF" popup.
    It allows to save a job (prior or instead to printing it) as PDF or PostScript.
