Why won't QBasic work on Windows Vista?
Many DOS applications simply will not run under Windows Vista, and none under the 64-bit version. Making the NTVDM support DOS programs in Vista was an extremely low priority, since very few people actually run DOS programs anymore. You can use QBasic and other DOS programs on Vista (even the 64-bit version) by using an emulator known as DOSBox.

How do you transfer DOS program from Windows XP to Vista?
Depending on the complexity of the program, simply copying the files and pasting them should work. Note that Vista's NTVDM is very limited, and does not support most DOS applications.
Where can you download MS-DOS?
Every version of Windows, even Vista, bundles a copy of MS-DOS. You can create an MS-DOS boot floppy by formatting a floppy disk, and checking the "Create an MS-DOS startup disk" box.
You cannot start windows vista can you use command prompt to boot to c drive?
No. Windows Vista is not based on DOS and a DOS boot disk will be unable to read the file system that Vista is on.
How do you get your hard drive into DOS mode so it can be formatted with Vista?
There is no "DOS mode" for a hard drive, and it is not necessary to use DOS to format a hard drive. Vista's installer had a built-in partitioner and formatter.

What came before Windows Vista?
Windows XP and Windows 2003 came before Windows Vista. The 64-bit version of XP was really mostly Windows 2003 branded as XP, and not truly XP, despite the name.
What is the last version of MS-DOS?
The latest that existed by itself was MS-DOS 6.22. For a while, however, Windows was partially integrated with DOS, so these MS-DOS versions could be extracted. Windows 95 revision 1 identified as MS-DOS 7; Win 95 rev 2 and Win 98 were MS-DOS 7.1 (which had support for the FAT32 file system), and Windows ME had MS-DOS 8. You can extract the DOS from Win 9x (not ME) by modifying the file MSDOS.SYS, changing the line saying "bootgui=1" to "bootgui=0" and setting the config.sys SHELL statement to the command.com that came with Windows. Someone has done this and packaged it; google "MS-DOS 7.10" and you will find it.Also, any time you format a disk in Windows newer than ME, you get the option to make a MS-DOS startup disk. This is MS-DOS 8. By making such a disk and using the utilities from MS-DOS 6.22, you can have a working MS-DOS 8. The VER command will still report the Windows version you used.MS-DOS 1.xVersion 1.0 (Retail) - August 1981Version 1.1 (Retail)Version 1.12 (Retail)Version 1.25 (Retail) - August 1982MS-DOS 2.xVersion 2.0 (Retail) - March 1983Version 2.1 (Retail)Version 2.11 (Retail)Version 2.2 (Retail)Version 2.21 (Retail)MS-DOS 3.xVersion 3.0 (Retail) - For IBM PC ATVersion 3.1 (Retail) - For NetworksVersion 3.2 (Retail) - April 1986Version 3.21 (Retail) - April 1987Version 3.25 (Retail)Version 3.3 (Retail)Version 3.3a (Retail)Version 3.3r (Retail)Version 3.31 (Retail)Version 3.35 (Retail)MS-DOS 4.xVersion 4.0 (Retail) - July 1988Version 4.01 (Retail) - November 1988MS-DOS 5.xVersion 5.0 (Beta 1) - June 1991Version 5.0 (Retail)Version 5.0a (Retail)MS-DOS 6.xVersion 6.0 (Retail) - August 1993Version 6.1 (Retail)Version 6.2b (RTM)Version 6.2 (Retail) - November 1993Version 6.21 (Retail) - March 1994Version 6.22 (Retail) - April 1994MS-DOS 7.xVersion 7.0 (Beta)Version 7.1 (Retail)
