    well i used HPUSBDisk to make my usb bootable using win98 boot files then copy nvflash to the root of the usb after and boot with legacy mode secure off it should work

    open HPUSBDisk As admin chose the usb check quick format and Create a DOS startup disk then browse and chose the win98 folder that will take the boot files and use it for the usb then copy nvflash to it :)
