I'm wondering if I can dual boot Solaris 10 with XP Pro on my home built pc. I have 2 hdds, one with 4-5 paritions with xp pro, the other a 20gb hdd without anything. I want to put Solaris on the 2nd hdd. Will it work?

I have multiple boots setup on seprate hard drives like you mention and just use the BIOS settings to choose which to use, all though not solaris.....
Look in your BIOS for "BOOT OPITIONS"
Keep the old stuff running
