After partitioning a new HD I installed XP Pro into one of the primary partitions, made it active and booted into it a few times ok. Do I need to edit the startup options which sounds risky so that it forces my PC to list both OSs upon boot-up? What else would you suggest? I would like it to default to Windows if I don't choose from the list within a set time, such as 10 sec. So far, I have not been able to find good documentation with respect to Windows from sun.

I tried a brief Google search but got a ton of hits and it was just confusing me more. I can list the contents of my boot. Thanks in advance. Joined Apr 2, Messages You need a boot loader in you MBR.

I am not familiar with Solaris, so I do not know if it comes with a boot loader that you can choose to install when you install Solaris. You can use software such as bootmagic to edit you MBR after the fact. Joined May 6, Messages Solaris 10 should come with a boot loader, so I would think it wouldn't be too difficult.
