    Any Windows startup diskette will work.
    Grab one from bootdisk.com
    The Win98 one is probably the easiest.
    Doesn't matter what filesystem.
    Put the flash and the app on the floppy.

    You'd better make sure you know which BIOS you have first.
    Is it Award, or is it AMI?
     
    reboot,

    I always use drdos 7 from http://www.bootdisk.com/ there aren't any extra drivers on it so there is plenty of room for the flash utilities. I've used it with 2000 and XP.
