Honestly, I would get the hard disk. One thing WinNT hates is sharing. Solaris is just as selfish. I am currently running a dual boot Solaris 9 and WinXP. The only way I got them to agree was to put them on separate disks. In fact, I had to remove on disk to install WinXP, and then switch disks to install S-9. Then, I put the disks on separate IDE channels. My MoBo allows me to boot from either channel, so when I need to change boot devices, I go into Bios. Only way I could get it to work, and I am running a Athlon 2600+ Barton with a gig of ddr400.
