I suggest you make an image of the drive immediately. I just recovered a SCO Unix drive which had failed to boot. Do not run fsck, etc on this drive. Image first, regardless. If drive is truly fine,do you mean that you have tested SA modules, surface, etc with pc3k or others? Are you able to boot from hard drive or not? I assume not. You should be able to boot from FD or CD or other media, mount filesystem and run fsck. Don't do this on the patient...use the imaged drive. hint: you can use original SCO boot disk, but if you don't have it, you can use mkdev to make it. Good luck.

hi pcrecovery.
yes as disk is perfectly fine , i have made sector by sector image as well as clone disk.I will try your suggestion. It seems there is no ready software for this task. Both stellar phoneix & kernel fail miserably.
Thanks for your help.
