Dual booting Vista and MS-DOS?

[php111]

Hello,

I have a system with Vista on it but i can't get it to dual boot properly with DOS. I have MS-DOS 6.22 and i set that on partition C then i installed Vista on another partition. No what what partition i set Vista to be on it automatically takes over the C drive and it puts DOS on the partitions i set for Vista. Another thing is there is no boot loader picking up them two OS's. Is there a way around this?

If you are trying to multi-boot different versions of Windows, you must always install the earliest operating system (i.e. MS-DOS in this case) first.

Have you read this ?

Its probably easier to use a 3rd Party Boot Manger ?

This one is freeware (I believe)

You can also get EasyBCD for Vista that will allow you to modify the Vista boot loader settings to set default OS, timeout, add entries etc.

But, you might be better served getting DOSBox and running your DOS programs inside of it, then you dont have to dual boot at all.
