OpenSolaris has to be installed into a primary partition *and* I am reasonably certain that the primary partition you install it into has to be placed before any extended partition (if you have an extended partition on the disk).
It looks like from the screen shot that you sent that you have an extended partition that is 7.6gb - or at least, that is how the OpenSolaris installer is interpreting your system's partition table. What is in that 7.6gb partition? HTH, Gregg Glen MacLachlan wrote: > I am trying to install opensolaris on a dual boot laptop.
