I know that the DOS "fdisk" says that...
but it's limitation of "fdisk" I suggest you use Partition Editor(Gparted) in Ubuntu Live CD or Gparted Live CD or use Qtparted in Knoppix...
If you want Windows based tool, use Partition Magic, but I havent tried it...

yeah.. it's working on VMware.. but you'll need a good amount of RAM for that.. 2 GB should do fine

On a system as Liverpool said, there can be a max of 4 paritions (Primary + Extended). Now its upto you how you choose the combination. You can re-partition your drive and create another Primary Partition to install Solaris.
Solaris requires a primary partition because of the file system issues. It also creates a number of smaller partitions by itself.

Yup I have 2 GB RAM ..Can you tell me step by step how to install Solaris on VMWARE ? Which version of VMware etc

BSD init pwns System V
Err.. actually i don't have VMWare... i use Virtualbox.. firstly.. make a image of the disc if you can.. it will make the installation much, much faster...
Then start virtualbox.. and click on new..
then select Solaris/OpenSolaris from the menu...
Allocate about 768 MB RAM to it..
and about 10 GB Hard Disk space to it..
then click on settings..
if you have a AMD processor then click on enable AMD-V and if Intel Core series then also click on it..
Now for the installation you can follow these steps

I am already dloading the iso..so thats it ?
So can I allocate this 10 GB frm my D drive ?

BSD init pwns System V
yeah.. it will automatically create a disk file .. VDI (Virtualbox Disk Image) and it will keep filling it automatically.. so all your 10 GB will not be allocated at once.. unless you select that option.. you just follow the steps in Virtualbox.. they're damn easy..
no need to partition Hard Disk.. just start Virtualbox..

Yeah, if its just for trial purposes even I'd recommend installing it in a Virtual Environment. Thats the easiest possible installation.

Installed and used, quite nice, but looks like a uBuntu xerox. Good, but still, I prefer Windows.

May look like the Ubuntu zerox but not underneath for sure!
