Set the SCO partition to be active and type "dos" at the >Boot: prompt to access NT. One addition to this is that if NTAS 3.1 was loaded on an NTFS instead of a FAT file system, "Boot:dos" would yield an error about the [DOS] partition being unknown. Using fdisk from SCO UNIX would show that the NTFS was seen as an HPFS; have you tried loading the NTS 3.5 on a FAT?
