-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [docs-discuss] SXDE: Installation Fails: Cannot Create Duplicate fdisk Partitions (c1d0) Date: Tue, 01 Jan 2008 14:46:14 -0800 (PST) From: Jags Desai <[email protected]> To: docs-discuss at opensolaris.org hi everyone I'm trying to install Solaris Express Dev Edition on the [b]3rd Partition (15GB)[/b] on a HP Desktop 763n with Windows Vista Ultimate installed on 1st Partition (40GB), Ubuntu 7.10 installed on 2nd Partition (15GB). 4th Partition is Linux Swap (2GB) and 2.5GB is unallocated space. ( HD size: 74.5GB) After reaching 5% installation fails. Installation log says: Cannot create duplicate fdisk partitions (c1d0) . Previously before installing Ubuntu, I tried to install Solaris Express on [b]2nd partition (15GB)[/b] and installation was failing similarly and installation log said: Not enough free space to create Solaris fdisk partition (c1d0) [ also after installation reaching 5% ] Before starting installation I did run Solaris Express installation check tool 1.2 ( http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/install_check_sx.html ) and it said Solaris Express can be installed on this HP desktop. [ HP 763n Pentium-4 2.5 GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 128MB nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200, HP DVD writer, Dell 20" LCD ] Any help is greatly appreciated. (By the way, Vista Ultimate & Ubuntu are working fine. At system start up I do get options to load Ubuntu / Vista) - Jags This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ docs-discuss mailing list docs-discuss at opensolaris.org -- <http://www.sun.com> * James Siwila * * Senior Manager, Information Products * *Sun Microsystems, Inc.* 35 Network Drive Burlington, MA 01803 US Phone x20431/1 781 442 0431 Mobile 1 781 454 5989 Email Jim.Siwila at Sun.COM -- Diane Plampin Manager, Information Products Group - Information Program Management - man Pages - Solaris Install - Open Solaris ph. 303-974-3290 (67793)
