pcfs != ntfs. The entry should be:
/dev/dsk/c0d1p1 - /mnt/oldcdrive ntfs - yes -

Easy easy. Since you are providing a NTFS filesystem to the pcfs (fat32)
module obviously it is not happy!
If you boot into failsafe mode and see the /etc/vfstab you are seeing the
"failsafe vfstab" which is different from the vfstab on the harddisk.
When you boot into Failsafe you will be prompted to mount the Solaris
partition under "/a". Say yes to that and modify /a/etc/vfstab.
The other option is to boot from BeleniX which will auto-mount Solaris
slices on the harddisk. Execute "df -h" to check out the
/mnt/solaris0 ...
/mnt/solaris1 etc. mountpoints and then change stuff on harddisk.
> Now i take off the primary disk ( which has solaris and by the way i had lost all data in my primary disk (160GB) trying to install solaris ) and try to boot the windows in the secondary disk ( the one i had placed an entry in the vfstab ). It won't boot. It gave some error. I had to get into safe mode and restore my system to some previous date and here i am typing this to you.

Put the primary back and recover as mentioned above via the Failsafe
method, since you seem to be having a problem with BeleniX.
