Using other operating systems with an SCO OpenServer system

Displaying current partition table

Use fdisk's Display Partition Table option to report the current state of partitions on your computer. For each partition, you can see whether the partition is active, the first track, the last track, the number of tracks used, and the associated operating system. If you use Display Partition Table and press <Enter> to see the partition table, the result will be similar to ``Sample fdisk table''.
