Download DOS-on-USB for Windows to install MS-DOS 7.1 on your USB memory key.

not PC-DOS 7.0 Rev 1 (aka PC-DOS 2000), but a subsequent update which added LBA and FAT32 support to the kernel.
PC-DOS 7.1 is still available for download from IBM, as part of the IBM ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, DOS Edition, version 1.3.07 (https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-53564). It replaces FDISK.COM with FDISK32.COM, and added FORMAT32.COM.
I created a boot disk, then created a basic DOS VM with all defaults, and booted the boot image. When I FDISK the hard drive, FDISK32 issues a warning:

Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view

A:>fdisk32 1 /pri:500
*********** LBA reported Head,Sector,Track
* WARNING * values don't match the reported
*********** total number of sectors. Error
in hardware or BIOS is a probable cause.


However, it creates the partition anyway:

Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view

A:>fdisk32 /status
*********** LBA reported Head,Sector,Track
* WARNING * values don't match the reported
*********** total number of sectors. Error
in hardware or BIOS is a probable cause.
Fixed Disk Drive Status

C: 500


After rebooting, I format and hit two issues.

Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view

A:>format32 c:
The /Q switch is required at this time.
PC DOS FAT32 Format Utility
Warning: The drive you specified is not partitioned as a FAT32 drive.


First, why would FORMAT32 require a quick format on a brand new partition? Second, I haven't found a way to specify FAT32 for the partion. FDISK32 doesn't seem to support it:

Code: Select allExpand viewCollapse view

A:>fdisk32 /?
Configures a hard disk for use with PC DOS.
FDISK32 [/STATUS | d /PRIO[O]:n | d /EXT:n | d /LOG[0]:n | d /MBR]
/STATUS Displays the status of the fixed disk drive
d is the physical drive # (1,2,...)
n size of partition in megabytes
/PRI Create a primary drive
/EXT Create an extended partition
/LOG Create a logical drive within an extended partition
/MBR Write a new Mast Boot Record


FORMAT.COM has no problem formatting the partion as FAT16, but I want a FAT32 partition.
Does the FDISK32 warning reflect a bug in VB?
