interesting. IMHO win2k is configure ot run in multiple OD environmet here. In fact it will run fine with two mS windows OS. But this is the case for SCO openserver. I guess a third party os laoder is required here

I am not sure if this os loader helps, but it has great review.

Here are some solutions :

System commander is the most versatile solution.
see

for more info.
There are other solution such as boot part , which can boot linux from an NT boot manager list.

It is very dependent on how your partitions are set up.

The newer versions of partition magic come with a boot manager also

I have a problem with the recommendation. The question was "I want to Dual boot Win2k Server and SCO OpenServer 5.0.5"

None of the solutions posted, other than mine on 08/06/2001 11:25AM PDT pointed to a SCO solution.
