I downloaded the Super Universal MS-DOS 7.10 boot disk and used winimage to extract it to a floppy disk, but when I use this floppy to boot the machine it says it is not a system disk, and the machine cannot boot! Could some kind expert please give me some pointers on the detailed steps for making the super boot disk? Many thanks!!!

Try using another floppy disk and make it again... it's possible the floppy disk is bad...
Also, when posting, please pay attention to the title and make it clear what the problem is... otherwise it may get deleted or nobody will pay attention to it...

HiRAM has problems on both of my computers and on VPC too; only VMWare can boot it. Just treat that boot disk as a toy. UMBPCI+HiRAM+HIMEM/Q is not a normal boot method, and a Video BIOS ROM conflict may occur.
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it is win or lose.

Load HIMEM first, then load UMBPCI, and it can boot. But UMBPCI has some problems; when I use it, miniwin32 won't start.

It also won't boot on my machine; it hangs halfway through! Please have a moderator explain this, thanks!
