Step 7. Name the 'Volume Lable' whatever you want the USB drive to be called.

Step 8. Under Format options tick 'Quick format' & 'Create a DOS startup disk'.

Step 9. Set the path for the 'using DOS system files located at' to the folder on you desktop containing the three Win98boot files.

Step 10. Click Start, this will now format the USB pen drive so that is it bootable.

Tip: In the bios set the USB device to the highest priority, causing USB drvice to boot first.
