How do I get to the # or $ command without starting out in the SCO login shell. I have been logging in at the Conrol D prompt so it doesn't go to the shell. When I do that I am in the single user mode. Also, how do I exit out of the login screen and get back to the # prompt. I am very used...

yes, it does hold when I do the info you said. The Netware was just what printer services says under enable printer services. I an using the system in single user mode. I am not real familiar with unix - learned enough to build a new system and install sco and the software I needed to recover...

I am trying to set up an IBM Proprinter 4039 on my SCO 5.0.5 system. I set it up and am able to print from the # prompt, but when I reboot and go into scoadmin printer, I get the message that the local print services are disabled. When I go into 'Systm->Print Services' and enable it - it goes...

Ed - Thanks for the help - it was a utility program. Once I got the drive set up correctly, I did a tar on it and it worked! Thanks!

The old (dead) HD is a seagate ST39173N and when I boot up it doesn't show up at all - does that mean it is totally dead? Wendy

The OS is SCO Open Server 5.0.5. The idea of installing the hd on the working machine sounds good - the machine has to come from another office out of town, so it will take a few days. I will try the one you said about mounting the hd as a second to see if anything is there. Thanks for the...

HI, yes, I am new to SCO/Unix, but I don't give up easy! I have worked with Mac, DOS and Window for 15 years and have built/rebuilt 30 computers in the process. We have 3 offices and I was given a dead HD from one of the office and asked to recover it. I was able to install the SCO on a new...
