Flash BIOS

It would be best not to flash from a cdrom drive because you would want to avoid having any device drivers running when you make the flash.
I'd invest in 10 $ and get a floppy.
if you're running win 98 you could press f8 and choose dos prompt only. Then flash from a directory on the hard drive. That might be an idea.
Just becareful. bad flashing can kill your mobo

I always boot from a floppy, then flash from the HDD. The last time I flashed from a floppy I wound up buying a new bios chip. 
Ever since then I just put the bin file on my C: and flash from there.

pin two is missing on floppy drives and the cable has pin one at the red side so it is pretty straight forward.
