Both SCO UNIX and SCO XENIX support the coexistence of MS-DOS partitions
up to version 3.3 NOT 4.01. I think you will find this in your operating

What you might try is limiting your MS-DOS partition to less than 32Mb. Xenix's
real problem is that its fdisk does not understand  MS-DOS 4.01 Extended
