If you must
Add a second hard drive to the system, large enough to hold /u for unix and D: for XP.
Check the CMOS settings for the primary drive and determine how many megabytes are available before you reach cylinder 1023. Change the geometry to suit using LBA or LARGE in order to achieve the required amount.
You will probably need about 2gb for each OS.
This should not be a problem, I checked my own 20gb disk and it has 2400 cylinders, so that it would have about 8gb before cylinder 1023.
Install XP on a partition that is only 4gb.
Install SCO on whatever remains on the primary drive, only /stand needs end before cylinder 1023.
If there is not enough room left for the SCO apps and data then partition the second hd with fdisk to provide one unix partition and one NTFS partition
On the XP side use the second hard disk as drive D and then when you install any applications, install them on D not C.
Make the unix partition active.
Then you should be able to type XP at the 'boot:' prompt and have XP run.

makecsd
MAKECSD(1) The Canonical Csound Reference MAKECSD(1)
NAME
makecsd - Creates a CSD file from the specified input files. .
DESCRIPTION
Creates a CSD file from the specified input files. The first input file that has a .orc extension (case is not significant) is put to the
<CsInstruments> section, and the first input file that has a .sco extension becomes <CsScore>. Any remaining files are Base64 encoded and
added as <CsFileB> tags. An empty <CsOptions> section is always added.
Some text filtering is performed on the orchestra and score file:
o newlines are converted to the native format of the system on which makecsd is being run.
o blank lines are removed from the beginning and end of files.
o any trailing whitespace is removed from the end of lines.
o optionally, tabs can be expanded to spaces with an user specified tabstop size.
SYNTAX
makecsd [OPTIONS ... ] infile1 [ infile2 [ ... ]]
INITIALIZATION
Flags:
o - t n = expand tabs to spaces using tabstop size n (default: disabled). This applies only to the orchestra and score file.
o - w n = set Base64 line width to n (default: 72). Note: the orchestra and score are not wrapped.
o - o fname = output file name (default: stdout)
EXAMPLES
makecsd -t 6 -w 78 -o file.csd file.mid file.orc file.sco sample.aif
This creates a CSD from file.orc and file.sco (tabs are expanded to spaces assuming a tabstop size of 6 characters), and file.mid and
sample.aif are added as <CsFileB> tags containing Base64 encoded data with a line width of 78 characters. The output file is file.csd.
