Hi there,
While installing the SCO-Unix, you have an option of partitioning of the harddisk, here you can select the option as custom and then see the available space. I think, it will show you the partition size.
May i, ask u how many partitions are making on the Harddisk. Is it a single hard disk or multiple harddisk. If it is single Hard disk, you cannot make more than 4 partitions on the disk, hence u may be facing the problem. Please do not exide more than 4 partitions under SCO-Unix.

DISKTAB(5) BSD File Formats Manual DISKTAB(5)
NAME
disktab -- disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
Disktab is a simple database which describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on
the disk. The format is patterned after the termcap(5) terminal data base. Entries in disktab consist of a number of `:'-separated fields.
The first field for each entry gives the names by which a disk's entry may be selected, separated by `|' characters. The last name given
should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The optional fields for each entry are:
ID Type Description
ty str Type of disk (e.g. removable, winchester)
dt str Type of controller (e.g. SMD, ESDI, floppy)
ns num Number of sectors per track
nt num Number of tracks per cylinder
nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk
sc num Number of sectors per cylinder, ns*nt default
su num Number of sectors per unit, sc*nc default
se num Sector size in bytes, DEV_BSIZE default
sf bool Controller supports bad144-style bad sector forwarding
rm num Rotation speed, rpm, 3600 default
sk num Sector skew per track, default 0
cs num Sector skew per cylinder, default 0
hs num Headswitch time, usec, default 0
