For more information:
my harddisk is : Samsung SV2042H
But while installing Solaris 10, after creating the fdisk partition, following lines are showed :

Preparing system for solaris install
Configureing disk (cod1)
- Creating fdisk partition table

ERROR : Could not create fdisk partition table
ERROR : Could not label disks
ERROR : could not update disks with new configuration.

Could not update disks with new configuration.

After this the system hangs.

Can anybody let me know why this is happening.

x86 boot partition is not necessary.To avoid it,choose interactive installation when the installation starts.on reaching fdisk,select the disk and then either select the auto layout of the disk, or if you want to change it,then do manual.And install solaris on a primary partition, it won't be installed on a logical extended volume.
