Any BootDisk will do!!!
In Fact, your not even going to let W2K get started... or even see the harddisk for that mater... its a total floppy opperation!!!

Just boot totally from floppy, SAVE the old BIOS to floppy, and install new bios from foppy... - And Yes - SAVE that old BIOS - If ya get into trouble don'y say I didn't tell ya SAVE old before flashin new...

Ya may download, and prepare( unzip and stuff) on you harddisk, but your going to copy the New Bios and Flash program onto a Bootable floppy and then work from that bootable floppy(including copying the old BIOS onto it before flashing the new one in CMOS)...

Read the Flash instructions carefully - it ain't that hard...

First, download this file from bootdisk.com:

http://www.bootdisk.com/drdfiles/drdflash.exe

Insert a blank floppy and run the program. Next copy the required files for flashing the bios to the new boot disk. Restart and boot to the floppy and flash away.

Good luck
