Here is what you need:

#1 Windows 98cd (or any dos bootable cd with dos cd drivers)
#2 CD Writer
#3 CD-R
#4 BIOS file to be flashed
#5 DOS flash utility

1st: write the bios file and flash utility to the cd-r

2nd: boot the computer with cdrom suport from the 98cd (or any dos bootable cd with dos cd drivers)

3rd: put the cd-r in the drive and open the flash utility example: (D:\\awdflash.exe)
