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.

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.
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?
