SCO Unix; possible to resize partitions?

If anyone is willing to help I would defenitely appreciate it!

The situtation is that we have a client that had a "falling out" with their software/hardware vendor and now aren't able to get support for their machines and software.

What's happening is they're using SCO-Unix and a medical software called SDM (Scientific Data Management, which was later Vital-Works, which is now Cerner) and they're getting database errors related to not having enough drive space. Usually when I GHOST a HDD I'm able to adjust the sizes of the partitions to the destination but when I GHOST this hard drive onto a bigger one it won't let me do it. So basically the original hard drive is ~4GB, single partition. The new hard drive is ~20GB. After Ghosting to the new drive I have the ~20GB drive split into 2 partitions. The ~4GB and then the ~16 unallocated space. Is there an easy way to resize/reallocate that ~4GB or ~16GB to just be ONE drive. Oh yeah, and to make this more fun. I don't have any SCO Floppies to boot from but I do have a tape backup (which I'm not even totally sure what it has on there).

Any help to some tutorials or readings would be fantastic!

Thank YOU!

Stressed,

Partie™
