hi,

I've made the most bios and firmware updates through cds. Make a
floppy on a desktop windows pc. Take the boot part of the floppy for the
disk and burn the content on it. It depends on the burning software how
you do it.

try google before you ask ;)

If it's too hard for you, give me a link with the content of the disk
and I'll give you an ISO you have only to burn. But still try it, it's
not hard!

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
