First Install the XP and then Solaris.

When u start Xp installation it show u the disk space.
1)Create a partition of u r required size (example GB's) and leave the remaining space unpartitioned.
After Installation of XP,start installation of solaris 8.0. use the CD solaris 1-2,
solaris will take of the unpartitioned space,it will create its own partition.
follow the instruction and u r all set

all the best

i have installed solaris with win 2k today

i have created unused partition through Partition magic and then i booted with solaris cd 1 and i configured all the devices and when it came to the point of installation i just highlighted that unused partition for solaris.

the good thing about solaris is that it took over the boot sector allows u to boot any partition u like without using booting utilities

if u have any problem mail me at
