Dual Boot 2000 & SCO Unix
I have a Win2000 system with an extra (4GB) disk drive. I want to install SCO Unix on it with the Development Kit. How do I set this up without changing or destroying the Win2000 settings?

i don't actually think that sco unix uses a bootloader that will let you dual boot (now I'm by no means a SCO unix expert, and have no desire to work on their unix system because of their continued anti linux sue happyness) but you should be able to create a pass off loader in the the windows boot.ini. now I'm not entirely sure if it'll work (I know some who have for linux).

I'm not really an expert in this area but couldn't you use a seperate bootloader to chainload each of the others' bootloaders respectively. I don't like SCO either same as tsunam, but it seems that chainloading works in situations like this.
Why not use linux tho

true I believe that the one partitioning software by ranparts(I know that's spelled wrong -.-, where's the irc (sp?) option:P ) has a boot loader.

As far as sco unix perhaps a is a necessity for work, if not look at HP UX, IRIX, Solaris, AIX to just name a few, without going into the BSD's
