Early morning Friday, a keyboard extension cable shorted - good thing it did not catch anything on fire - and killed the MB and possibly the HDD as well. The main SCSI drive is starting to click and sometimes is not recognized. I have used a device once before, but do not have access to it any more and was able to clone the drive once before when it failed.
Now I am trying to use Norton Ghost, but it is not seeing any SCSI drive, even though I am loading SCSI drivers. That's one problem.
The other problem, is that it seems that SCO does not like having disk geometry changed. How can I duplicate the existing HDD to a new (old) SCSI drive, that does not have the same geometry?
Any ideas would be most helpful. I need to call the company in the A.M. and give them an update. I would really like to get this done this evening though. They will be switching to a Windows based software system in the next couple of months, so I just need the SCO box to run a little longer.

Did you try Acronis? We can't image SCO with Ghost at all, which is our primary image platform (or VMware for that matter) So on our unix/linux stuff we use Acronis. Of course all of this academic if you can't even recognize the controller. I'm guessing it's an older Adaptec 2900 series possibly?
