The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Having trouble mount SCO UNIX partition on 2nd drive

Asked by astring in SCO Unix

Tags: SCO Unix

I need to obtain some data from a hard drive that has partitions for DOS, OS2, and SCO unix.  I do not know how the drive was created.  I added the drive to my system and when I run fdisk I can see that partition 3 is marked Active and the type says Unix.  Divvy shows

Name          Type          New FS          #     First Block          Last Block

Division0     Non FS            no             0                    0          49999
Division1     Non FS            no             1              5000        149999
Division2     NonFS             no             2            15000      12284926
Division3     NOT USED       no             3                    -                    -
Division4     NOT USED       no             4                    -                    -
Division5     NOT USED       no             5                    -                    -
                   NON FS            no             6                    -                    -
hd1a           WHOLE DISK    no             7       12284927    12284936

I have ran mkdev without creating a new filesystem and the device files are in /dev, /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk.  But I can't mount either the Unix partition or the Dos partition.  fstype replies with unknown fstype.  fsk tells me it cannot determine filesystem.  I tried fsck with -f HTFS, -f DOS and with -f EAFS .  Same response.  Does anyone have any hints at how I can mount the filesystem?
