I should also note that I have access to partition magic.  I also
already have the Solaris Disks.

Hi Jimmy,

With regards to pointing in the right direction, you can follow the
instructions through the link I found below. Simply press the "Shift"
key before clicking on the link so it will open a new window or
right-click on the link and choose "Open in New Window" for your
convenience.

For safety, you can save your important files to a single folder
and/or make a backup by zipping them to a single file in drive C.

As far as dual booting is concerned, you may find the article below of
