They all natively support FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 partitions. Also, through some software, such as iHPFS, NTFSDOS, LTools, etc., they can be made to support HPFS, NTFS, Ext2, and other partitions.

If I use the conversion tool in msdos71 to convert FAT16 to FAT32, will it damage the data on the hard disk? Also, does MSDOS622 support FAT32?

MS-DOS 6.22 and below do not support FAT32 or large hard disks. Using the FAT32 conversion tool in MS-DOS 7.10 will not damage the data on the hard disk.

Can DOS7.1 directly access HPFS, NTFS, and Ext2? What can be used to partition and format an NFTS hard disk?
