Hi Eric,
I have tried this steps, I don't have error code with me right now.
Now i have done the installation on another disk. Will post you the exact error
code on Monday.
To run the installation on the same disk, I have done following steps but still
failed.
Formatted the disk on Windows 2003 using NTFS Partition.Run the solaris
installer.Still it says that Solaris partition exist.
Regards,
Abhishek
