Hello! Not being real familiar with the latest SCO ODT version, can it allow for booting NTAS v3.5 from the : prompt like it does with DOS? If so what procedure needs to be followed to get this, or do I need a patch, or? We have tried to get this to work but the NT boot fails. This is a system that has both an NT and ODT partition on the same disk. Any hints would be greatly appreciated! Best regards. . . .

Set the SCO partition to be active and type "dos" at the Boot: prompt to access NT.

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?
