Shrink the NTFS filesystem first. I've used the Knoppix LiveCD against a defragmented NTFS. Then use beadm(1M) to duplicate your OpenSolaris BE to a USB drive and also send snapshots of any other rpool ZFS there. Then I would boot the USB drive, run format, fdisk and recreate the Solaris fdisk partition on your system, recreate the rpool on slice 0 of that fdisk partition, use beadm(1M) to copy your BE back to your new rpool, and then restore any other ZFS from those snapshots.
