Solaris 10 dual Operating system

I have computer has windows operating system, and I want to install Solaris on one of partition,
I don't have only one hardisk.
any one can please help me about that
thanks,

I can't recommend this strongly enough: get a removable hard drive tray that fits in any 5-1/4" bay. You then can put a different hard drive in each tray and cold swap them whenever you want to change operating systems. It will add at most 10 seconds to the process of rebooting and allows your operating system to be on completely independent drives.
Want to boot Solaris? Shut down, slide out the Windows drive, slide in the Solaris drive, power on.
Want to reinstall the operating system? Just go ahead. The boot drive is its own, so there's no need to worry about the "other" partition.
A kit to do this (assuming that you have two available boot drives) costs about $40 total (one bay and two drive trays) depending on the brand and it eliminates the need for a partition manager entirely. I have this on three of my PCs and it's a god-send for running multiple operating systems, or even multple instances of the same operating system.

  • If I buy a new macbook with Apple, will they help me install a dual operating system?

    I've heard Bootcamp does this, but I've never owned a Mac before, and am daunted by the change. I would love a Mac for ease of use, as many of my friends seem to love it, but for school purposes, my PC laptop is better. My PC needs to be updated, though, and I really want to spring for the Mac, I just don't want to lose being able to not have to do my homework in a computer lab. A friend has dual operating systems on hers, and says it works beautifully for running both, though I don't know what macbook she's got. If I go to an Apple store and get a laptop from them, even bring the Windows 7 operating system (I'm NOT doing Windows 8), will they help do this for me? Does anyone know if it is alright to have the dual systems, or if it takes away from the hardware's ability to work? ANY advice is welcome.

    It  is not hard. Boot Camp allows running Windows natively, same as on a laptop PC would be with a few differences in fan and thermal control and drivers.
    Once installed natively which would be dual-boot setup, you can then install and use VMware or Parallels to assign the Windows partition for use as a VM inside OS X, no more need to dual boot unless you want to.
    All of the information can be printed out from Boot Camp Assistant utility, or from the support help page and link to the manual:

      Paragon CampTune is a commercial product that is designed expressly for this task. http://www.paragon-software.com/home/camptune/ It consists of a downloadable ISO that needs to be burned to a disc and booted from in order to resize the partitions costs US$19.95.

  • Backing up Solaris 2.7 Operating System

    Hi,
    Would anyone be able to take me through the process of backing up the operating system under solaris 2.7. I have recently installed the software onto Sparc 10 boxes and would like to back up the O/S before i
    proceed with any product installation. Please can you help! From the documentation i have been able to get it just describes how to backup file systems and directories using the ufsdump command. Is there
    specific syntax with this command which will allow you to backup the whole operating system.
    Cheers,
    Martin

    Try to boot from a CDrom using boot cdrom -s,
    once on single user you can dump all your system into a tape using ufsdump

  • Dual Operating Systems

    I know that you can use a program such as Parallels to run Windows on an Intel-based Mac. My question: is it possible to run the configuration in the opposite direction, i.e. install OSX Lion on an Intel-based Windows laptop? If so, what software is available to mimic Parallels for the Windows desktop or laptop? I am between Macs and forced to use a Windows 7 laptop. I would love to create a "psuedo-Mac" if it's possible.

    Even if it were possible, the Apple license for OS X prohibits such an installation.

    Consider if you have solo or duo, and how 10.6 caused a lot of people to scream "this thing runs slower, uses more memory" and if you want to or need Mac OS X 10.7 Lion is what I assume you mean. Apple doesn't probably have anything official other than previews and WWDC.

  • Black screen says no operating system

    Shutdown your MBP, if necessary by holding the on/off button until it is shut down.
    Start up while holding the Alt(Option) key.
    Then you will see the available startup disks, maybe just one.
    Start from OSX because your bootcamp installation obviously failed.
    After you have started up,, go to the System Preferences <startup disk> and click the OSX disk as your startup disk (do NOT use "Tarrget Disk Mode"), leave the System Prefences.
    Reinstall the Bootcamp Partition.

    If version 6.5 does not support this configuration, do any of the later versions support it?
    I basically have an Ada executable and Labview executable that currently run on a Sun Machine with Solaris as the operating system.  I'm re-architecting the system hardware and will be getting rid of the Sun Machine and Solaris.  I'm don't have any issues with the Ada executable, but I'm not sure what configurations Labview supports.

    I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school.  The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent.  I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup.  When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen.  It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows. 
    Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
    Thanks for any ideas/input

    The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
    But
    It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
    And you never answered this question.
    Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

  • How to 'Remove' user access from deleted dual boot system's users in existing operating system's folders and files?

    I have Windows 7 Enterprise Professional, accessed earlier from (now deleted) other dual boot operating system (User folder), which shows it's users as unknowns for folder properties in Windows 7 Enterprise Professional's "C:\Users\Aniruddha",
    which causes system not responding, how to 'Remove' these unknown users from folder properties of "C:\Users\Aniruddha"?
    Also "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data" creates many of own folders within eachselfs end folder ("C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data" creates a "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data\Application Data", "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application
    Data\Application Data" creates a "C:\Users\Aniruddha\Application Data\Application Data\Application Data" and many) because of which system stops responding randomly, starts responding only for "ctrl+alt+del", why such self
    creation begins?
    Whether a standby user with same file structure copied from a user would dynamically link it's shortcut folders with Windows user from whom these folders were copied or whether there would be no link and for above said problem I would restore User's file structre
    back to normal just by copying from standby user?

    It seems your PC is infected with some malware. Use a trusted antivirus software with the latest definition updates installed to scan and remove the malware.

  • How do I add another operating system for Dual boot in Windows 8.1 boot configuration?

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dual-boot Windows 8.1 Pro system to allow both 32bit and 64 bit Windows 8.1 versions.  I currently have Windows 8.1 32bit installed.  Appreciate some background on how to add 64bit Windows 8.1.
    Thanks, in advance.

    The easiest way is to do this (this assumes some technical knowledge as well as access to the currently installed operating system and the 64bit install files)
    1: launch diskpart from run or cmd
    2: select the current OS disk using "select disk 0"
    3: select the current OS volume using "select partition x" where x is the number of partition (you can use "list partition" to see all current partitions)
    4: enter "shrink minimum=xxxxx" where xxxxx is the size in megabytes you want to new OS to have
    5: Enter "create partition primary"
    6: Enter "format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows x64""
    7: Enter "assign letter y"
    8: select your current system partition using "select partition x" where x is the number of partition. If you have a UEFI install on a GPT disk, this partition will be formatted in fat32. Otherwise, it will be a 100mb NTFS partition
    9: Enter "assign letter s"
    10: exit diskpart, and open up an administrator cmd prompt
    11: Enter "dism /get-imageinfo /imagefile:e:\sources\install.wim" where e: is the drive letter that you have your .iso mounted in. If you have the iso extracted, you can just point to the current extracted area then \sources.install.wim. This will
    show you a list of indexes that the .wim file supports. A standard retail version of the .iso will have Windows 8 Pro be index 1. If it is not, just change the index number in the next command.
    12: Enter "dism /apply-image /imagefile:e:\sources\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:y:"
    13: Enter "bcdboot y:\windows /s s: /f UEFI" (if you are using a MBR disk and not UEFI with a GPT disk, enter /f BIOS instead)
    14: Reboot, select the x64 partition in the menu that comes up, and you are good to go!
    You can also just create a new partition using disk manager then boot to the x64 disk and install it to the new partition, but that runs the risk of accidentally installing over something that shouldn't be if you select the wrong disk.

  • [SOLVED] Mac OS X/Arch dual boot Missing Operating System GRUB problem

    I am attempting to dual boot Mac OS X.5 and Arch on my "unibody" macbook pro.
    I am getting the "Missing Operating System" error over and over. I have followed the Macbook install guide in the wiki and the Beginners install guide. I've also read all the threads I could find on the subject. The common fix seems to be changing the root path on the grub menu.lst... I've tried that. twice. with no luck.
    I have EFI on sda1, Mac OS X on sda2 and Arch root on sda3.
    My menu.lst is pretty much standard with
    root (hd0,2)
    kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
    for both Arch and the Arcch fallback.
    I'm not sure what else to try. I can give more information, but I'm not sure what else to give.
    Thanks in advance .

    I know exactly what the problem is.
    If you're using rEFIt, sync your partition tables (should be the menu item called 'Partitioning Tool'). The problem is that GRUB has been installed, but doesn't know where to find the Arch partition.
    After syncing, you may find that the boot process hangs at the Linux logo on a gray background. No worries — just reboot and the problem should fix itself.
    N.B. You will need to do a partition table sync every time you change your hard drive's layout.
