I think "if you first installed Solaris then try to install XP,XP will overwrite the Solaris.Becoz XP is single boot,,It is better to install XP first then install Solaris.."

Simple funda is First install Workstation then install Servers..

if you want to operate 2 OS's then you should install XP first after solaris, why because XP will over right boot record of Solaris, so you can not get boot menu, and if you install solaris after XP then it will Edit old boot record and places an entry in that and shows boot menu, XP don't have the capability to Edit Boot Record....Thanks

MBR Can't overwrite Solris boot loader. So we need to install XP first.
