My confusion about using the MSDOS710 boot disk! - China DOS Union Forum

Environment: XP was installed first, and then I wanted to use UCDOS, so I downloaded the MSDOS710 Super Boot Disk from this forum.
Situation: if I choose item 3/4, it hangs; if I choose item 5, I can get in, but because all three partitions (C: D: E

are NTFS, I can't see them under DOS. My first question: how do I convert them to FAT32?
Right, regarding the MSDOS710 Super Boot Disk MSDOS71＿1.ZIP, after extracting it I couldn't successfully write it out with HDCOPY.EXE; later I used UNDISKER and it worked very conveniently, and it can also be put on the hard disk. What I want to say here is that HDCOPY.EXE really does a lot of harm, and I suggest removing it from the toolbox.
I also tried the MSDOS710 full installation disk on another machine. The first time it said: there is no FORMAT file, cannot install; later I thought I'd directly follow the article on this forum, "How to use UCDOS under XP," copying it verbatim, but none of it worked. The reason is that UCDOS simply can't be used under XP. What other detailed methods are there?

Use Partition Magic

I'm also using WinXP right now, but: COMMAND /C UCDOS can indeed start UCDOS 7.0!

As for the issue of detecting the FORMAT.COM file in the "MS-DOS 7.10 installer", I have already improved the detection method; the download address is unchanged.

""I'm also using WinXP right now, but: COMMAND /C UCDOS can indeed start UCDOS 7.0!""

I created a COMMAND /C shortcut. After I click it, it flashes once and goes right back to XP. If I add /K afterward, I can get to DOS, but UCDOS still can't be used.
