Hi managers,
Thanks to all who responded.
The problem is that the Solaris fdisk creates a partition which dos =
can't=20
understand.(Well done Martin Huber)
I fixed the problem by using the Solaris fdisk program to delete the dos =
=20
partition. I was then able to use the dos install program.
I will report this as a bug to SUN.
