Solaris and XP together

I want to install Solaris 9 on a PC where I have already Windows XP. The NTFS XP partition starts at the beginning of the disk and when Solaris 9 Webstart Installation Program asks me if i want to create a swap at the beginning of the disk I'm afraid to destroy the XP partition. What is the best way to install Solaris together with XP? Should I resize/move the NTFS partition to leave some free space at the beginning of the hard disk? Thanks

You are right WINXP partition starts at the beginning of the disk but Solaris can't move it to put its swap. :(
