I am trying to install Dos 3.3 and SCO Xenix 286 2.2.3 on a Hewlett
Packard Vectra ES/12   with a Seagate ST-4096 and a WD controller.  

Xenix will boot fine anytime the Xenix partition is active.
When I activate the Dos partition  or try to boot DOS at the Xenix boot 
prompt the system hangs.  Under DOS "fdisk" it looks like the partitions 
are overlapping.

I can boot dos in the A drive and use drive c fine, but prefer not to 
do this.

I did a low level format using "Disk Manager Diagnostics".  The 4096
looked like a 9 head 976 cylinder drive to the "Disk Manager".

How do I set up the disk so that DOS and Xenix can co-exist?
