Installing Second Hard Drive

Sorry for not writing enough information
the hard drive was being used on another server running the same version of Sco (ver 5,0,5) as a second hard drive. A lot of files were copied into it resulting in it being full. It was causing my server to fail to boot.
I am now trying to mount it on my backup server so that i can remove some files from it.
It is showing NON FS under the file type after boot.

What steps have already been performed while it was attached to the backup server? Did that server previously have an existing secondary drive?
I'm surprised that a full secondary drive would cause a server bootup problems. Make sure there are no hard errors in the log on the server from where this drive was pulled.
Can you print (copy/paste) the divvy table?
"Proof that there is intelligent life in Oregon. Well, Life anyway.

Just to clarify:
You ran mkdev hd to create the hardware nodes?
After the reboot you show the correct partitions but wrong filesystem type using divvy?
It has been a while since I've tried this but think I ran mkdev again but kept it from creating a new file system. The second mkdev dumped me into divvy where I could enter the correct filesystem names into the system.
Do you have an emergency boot set from your original system? If so you should be able to mount the 2nd drive to the floppy. That should allow you to clean stuff off.
