HP is notoriously horrible about supporting linux on desktop or laptop's, so you won't get help there. They're also quite proprietary acpi implementations, so likely still (haven't looked in a while) no one bothers to figure out and support them.
My first, and subsequently last, hp laptop I kept the original windoze disk for this purpose alone, and just loaded new ssd's with linux. About 6mo ago I sold to a friend, but flashed the bios from windoze luckily having kept it as the only option I could find to get a current bios on it. Install xp long enough on a temp disk to flash it?
This is why I've usually decried HP to the good folks on this list - they're just not linux friendly, and hardly worth a darn for anything but servers anymore.

i already downloaded the BIOS version from HP but it is an exe file. Could anyone help me to see how I can fix this problem?Hi,I need help again to be able to reflash my BIOS. The reason is that my computer is having trouble reading my drives, CDs, or USBs. I know this is the case with the desktop because it works fine in my laptop. I have tried to reset the BIOS and thought at first to reinstall GRUB. Nothing is working but my HDD does show it does have a OS on it.
