This disk is used to start Windows 98 command prompt. It helps to resolve or format issues within Windows 98. All you have to do to use it, is insert it in your floppy disk, reboot to your BIOS, usually your delete key during bootup, and ensure it is set to boot to the A drive, and let the system boot up to the command prompt.

A Windows Boot Disk operates in DOS command line mode.
If your Windows operating system gets corrupted, you can start the computer using the boot disk and repair the damage.
Create a dos boot disk. Make sure that it contains FORMAT and FDISK. If you have access to Windows 98 then you can create a boot disk.
The floppy disk has nothing to do with the operating system on the hard drive. You can use a floppy disk created in Windows XP to boot a computer that has Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, etc...
Yes, Boot with disk, then choose "Windows Recovery Console"
A boot disk is a removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and run an operating system or utility program. A boot disk (sometimes called a startup disk) is a type of removable media, such as a floppy disk or a CD, that contains startup files that your computer can use to start Windows. The startup files are also stored on your computer's hard disk, but if those startup files become damaged, you can use the files on a boot disk to start Windows. In earlier operating systems that used the FAT or FAT32 file systems, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, a boot disk was especially useful because it allowed a person to access files on a hard disk even if Windows was unable to start. This ability also represented a security risk, because anyone with a boot disk and access to the computer could start the computer and access any file. Hard disks formatted with NTFS have built-in security features that prevent using a boot disk to access files. The Windows installation disc contains the files necessary to start Windows, so it is itself a boot disk. If a problem is preventing Windows from starting, you can use the installation CD to start Windows. The installation CD also contains Startup Repair, which you can use to repair Windows if a problem prevents it from starting correctly. Startup Repair can automatically fix many of the problems that in the past required a boot disk to fix
normally that's the CD you used to install windows
Windows XP boot disks can be purchased at a number of different online sites. Amazon and eBay, for example, sell these boot disks for affordable rates.

BIOS is looking for a boot sector. If the disk does not have a valid boot sector at the address which is also known by the BIOS, it won't boot from disk.
