Formatting disk to UFS

Hello all,

I have a laptop with a FAT32 files system, and I want to convert to UFS (unix file system) to install Solaris 10.

somebody knows the way to do that?:confused:

Please help

Thank you!

just start the solaris installer. you will be asked to create the filesystem!

When ever you start with solaris installation, it will take default file system(ufs).
but take care existing data in ur laptop.

The problem here is, I have one hard disk divided in two parts, in one part I have windows and the other part I want to install Solaris 10, so, when I start Solaris installation it takes by default all the hard disk and it is installed in the whole hard disk and windows dissapear. That's why I am asking to change the file system to UFS.

Could you please tell me why it is doing that?

Thank you.

The easiest way, that I found to do this is to buy a small external USB disk (I bought a 120GB) and then installed Solaris 10x86 onto this. In this way, you just have to interupt the boot sequence and tell it to boot from an external disk and you have solaris on your PC.

Then, if you just reboot the PC you have windows as per normal.
