u need to have a win9x bootdisk....
or you can also use a win9x install cdrom

sky I still have a W98 start up disk and if I restart with it in the drive I go into dos bu doesnt this install things on my PC? I usually use this to remove partitions right before a reformat 2kpro , I'm quite sure this disk installs stuff but will this affect my 2k performance or corrupt 2k in any way? Maybe the bootdisk you quoted is different then what I have?

It sets up a ram disk and loads diagnostic tools in to it. Other then that it doesn't install anything

I used a 9x boot cd and I wasn't able to see the c drive.. I have it set up as a striped array.. plus I'm using NTFS.. How would "I" flash my bios hehe.

Load the stuff for your BIOS flash onto your bootable disk. It should all fit, it does for me.
