You'll need to have a CD/DVD-ROM burning application which can create a bootable disk. (eg. Nero).

When creating the bootable CD/DVD, store the flasher and BIOS data file you have downloaded on the CD/DVD

When the burning application asks you for a bootable image, use a Win98 image. If that's not available, download the Win98SE_bootdisk.iso at All Boot disks and unzip it. (eg. with 7Zip). Use it as the bootable image in the burning application.

Your boot disk has now been created. Now you just need to reboot your PC and change the Boot Sequence in the BIOS to boot from the CD/DVD drive
