Well there you go, chinny22 basically says it all as far as RA is concerned - so that's what you can to go on. Best just set up the system like you say, and let let fly....

You might find this handy 😀
It is almost exactly for MS-DOS 7.1. Just a different boot disk and there are files on a RAM drive to be copied. My ZIP archive works just like with MS-DOS 6.22.
Can you also made an 7.10 tutorial?? When you have time available.
~ At least it can do black and white~

It's next on my list 😀
EDIT: Turns out the 7.1 boot floppies are missing EMM386.EXE 🙁

Well, if you have an old Windows 95/98/SE CD. then perhaps you can get the file that way 😀
Yes that works. The video I'm working on assumes that the user has access to an existing W98SE installation to get the files. There are others missing as well. Shouldn't be too hard to get.
One benefit of doing it via bootdisk is that the Creative installers will work and not complain about the version.
I run PC-DOS 2K which is a slightly updated version of v7.1. To the best of my knowledge it does not support FAT32. In fact, I do not believe it it is related to MS-DOS 7.x at all. MS-DOS seems a lot more advanced in the 7.x release.

I think it's just the SB16/AWE installer that will complain with MSDOS > 6.22 - SB Pro works OK. I did get the SB16 installer working under Win98 but I can't remember whether it was via setver or a patch.

Even more if you use logical partitions, 4 is the limit for primary partitions.
IIRC with logical partitions you only have to stop when drive letters run out. (LASTDRIVE is relevant, of course.)
Interesting, although I won't be testing this out any time soon 🤣
FAT32 FTW.
