I'd say correct sequence of commands should be:
pfexec fdisk /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p0
In fdisk, select and delete (all) partition(s), then create one
partition of FAT32 ('C') type. Save, exit.
mkfs -F pcfs -o fat=32 /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0p0:c
Note that you instruct mkfs to use p0, not p1.
However, some other scheme might be more reliable or convenient, ie you
could format drive with ZFS, leave it attached to Solaris machine and
share its contents over SMB/Windows network with Windows machine. Or
vice versa (with NTFS).

The ntfs mount is after installing FSWpart & FSWfsmis
just need this drive to work like a memory stick. so I can move files between
my duel boots.
Thanks
