i need to install a sytem with two disks, an ide 80gb and a scsi placed on a blad controler. i need to install windows xp on the ide and unix sco on the scsi. my problem is that as i was trying to install unix i could not choose the scsi because by default the only disk that i could install it was the ide. i can make a unix partition to the scsi but only as a second disk. the first disk, is only the ide (in which i have installed the windows) any idea how i can install the unix in the scsi and the windows in the ide and be the scsi my boot disk (so in boot i can choose if i would like continue boot with unix, or chhose the other disk in order to boot with windows)
thank you
 
You may need to add the "blad" driver at boot time if SCO didn't see it. You would need a BTLD diskette with that driver and use the "link" function at the boot prompt.
That wouldn't fully address your desire to choose which OS to boot, though. In the old days, you could have a DOS partition on your boot disk and type DOS at the boot prompt. But, I don't think that would be able to find the boot files on a different drive.
 
I have Windows XP installed on my pc. I want to download or install UNIX SCO so i could do practice of commands and stuff. Can someone please help me to find UNIX SCO software? Plz reply me soon. thanks.
