Need an SCO System V Xenix boot/recovery disk

Oops. :) Well, you have a good image. That's a start. Was it just the MBR that got nuked? Lots of times on intel systems, those are similar if not identical. All the boot-loader magic is handled in the second-stage loader near the beginning of the partition, or something like that. :) If that is the case, you may be able to replace it with the MBR from an MS-DOS bootable hard-disk. Also the DOS command FDISK/MBR is known to restore the MBR to such a state that at least MS-DOS will boot. If Xenix expected the standard DOS MBR, you'd be all set. So you could try making an MS-DOS bootable floppy, copying FDISK.EXE to the floppy, booting the machine from that and running the command. If the Xenix MBR really is different, then you may still be able to get away with using the DOS loader, provided there's a second-stage boot-loader in the right place on the Xenix partition. You would just use FDISK to set the bootable partition flag on the partition you'd like to boot, and the DOS boot-loader will try to pass control to a second-stage on that partition. Once you got in, of course, you could re-install the proper Xenix boot-loader (instboot?) I would back up the MBR first. I think there are utilities with most boot-loader apps that will do that. (Note that this is more-or-less speculative, but I'd like to know if you try it, and specifically, whether it works) Regards, Chris Christopher Smith, Perl Developer Amdocs - Champaign, IL /usr/bin/perl -e ' print((~"\x95\xc4\xe3"^"Just Another Perl Hacker.")."\x08!\n"); '
