Does this system have RAID?. It seems to me that a two drive system, with one of 4 to 8gb and one of 72gb is rather unusual.
More likely the system has two 72gb drives in it that are mirrored.
Some RAID systems will only boot from drive 0 of a RAID 1 configuration, so it may appear that all data has been lost even though only one of the two drives has failed.
I strongly suggest that you find a local SCO reseller, or at least a local HP dealer in order to determine the exact system configuration before you do anything.
It's not an HP Computer it's a Dell PowerEdge 1800.
It's not a RAID System.
The three file systems are on one physically installed drive.
I believe the boot CD has the SCSI driver on it already.

I'll get more information regarding the boot CD and post that shortly.
