I originally had 5 partitions on my hd. I had one for the mbr, vista, xp, linux swap, and linux. I had 20 gb of free space left on the hd that I wanted to install Solaris on. However, the problem was that when I tried to install Solaris using it's installer it only showed 4 partitions and they all read "other." So I deleted my ubuntu partition from the Solaris partition and installed Solaris to it. Everything was dandy, the Solaris grub booted up and I could boot into Solaris fine. When I tried booting into Vista and XP, they both crashed.
I used the Vista CD and did a startup fix. Then it installed Vista's bootloader and only had Vista and XP as startup options. XP crashed when I tried selecting it, but Vista booted fine. Then I used an XP cd and ran a fixmbr and fixboot and now my system boots straight into XP without any bootloader at all. I still have two other OS's on my system that I don't have access to!
Help me out! I know I can manually edit the Vista bootloader to include other OS's with easybcd, but I have no idea what steps to take or I don't know what to do to make sure that it sees Solaris also. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
