The problem I think I'm running into is the SCO fdisk and how to get both XP and SCO to boot off of that first 1023 cylinders. What formatting should be used for the boot partition? Should the boot partition be made active.
The way I normally install the system is image xp onto the hardrive, move the partition, and reboot to make sure xp boots. I then install SCO, and during the hardrive initialization process, have unix use the rest of the disk.
My goal is ease of use for a shop floor technician to use both old licensed SCO apps and our current supply of Windows apps. So, the bootos function of SCO would be best for the dual boot purpose.
BTW---I Like SCO--two days of being paid to learn it even makes it more appealing.
Thanks for your assistance
