It sounds to me like you have an extra hard drive, and so probably the
easiest and least damaging attempt would be to use a removable hard drive
caddy, and just swap it out when you want to chnange operations systems

Hi,

it's simply easy. First make two partitions on your hd.
Install Window's in one of them, then install solaris
in the other partition. Solaris contains the grub boot loader
and detects the windows partition. After installing solaris
grub will show you the bootable os, where you select the
os you will boot.
