So, As I promised, I shall and I will get back to you, and now I am. Here's the skinny, This made me feel so stupid I resigned to never show my innefficiencies ever!! Anyway, First of all, if all your partitions are in NTFS and they can't be read by regular DOS3.0, you gotta resize your master partition without loosing data with Partition Magic, "now that I know it works, I'll buy it." That's it, no format, no unnecessary re-installations, just resize!!!!
If you were in my case, a whole 80GB HDD unnecessary occupied by XP, just resize it down to the space you want, (provided of-course, you haven't used that much space and have some free) and you have unpartitioned space ready to be harnessed. I resized my XP down to 20GB, I dont even think I need that much for XP, I never store anything locally anyway!
After doing this, I now have Solaris on my computer which was kind of anticlimactic since I dont know how to use it. But I'm getting there, I'm getting there.........
