I've been trying this (doing, actually) for a few years now. Look at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com , and be amazed! This will do it for you, although unless anything has changed dramatically since I last did it, you'll need to load Solaris first, then reinstall the other O/Ss. When I first used it a few years ago, I had seven assorted O/Ss running on one drive. Installing Solaris killed them all. And I didn't have the knowledge then that I have now. I was devastated!
This WILL work, though. It's not free, but it's extremely cheap, is brilliant, works fantastically and does all kinds. The only time I've been frustrated enough to send an email to the support address (which happened to be about Solaris wiping out everything else...) I got a quick response which just explained the situation.
If it's too much hassle to reload your O/Ss, (I've been forced to so often, I wouldn't do it by choice!) then BootItNG is capable of imaging whole partitions to another disk. Even to CD/DVDs. So you could reload an image instead of the whole lot.
I might be sounding like I work for them, here. I don't. I don't even live in the same continent! It's a brilliant program that I've found really useful and used quite extensively.
Best of luck.
