The Random Bit Bucket: Moinak Ghosh's Weblog

As I had blogged earlier, I was working on a fix for the Windows Vista and Solaris dual boot issue. It is finally integrated in OpenSolaris and is available in Solaris Express Build 70, BUG#6510526. So now you need'nt have to do any gymnastics if you already have Vista on your machine. Just install Solaris and Vista will still boot. The fix was ultimately done in fdisk.h and affects both installgrub and fdisk.

Of course if you want to resize your Vista partition then you can use Vista's own safe volume resize option. Go to Computer Management->Disk Management and right-click on a disk partition.
