You don't have a floppy drive, or you don't have a floppy disk? They are pretty cheap and they do come in handy when working with computers, still. You can also still purchase the floppy disks also.

You'll have to find out if you can boot to a USB drive. If not, you'll have to make a bootable cd-rom disk and update it that way.

Does the system already have a working processor on it? if so, the link contains a file to update the bios from within Windows.

Keep trying that page, I got it the first time, but the 2nd time it took me a few tries.

 

[danny2000]

I don't see one listed for Win 7. I see one of course for Dos, Win 2000, and XP.
So those are your choices.

if you get the page cannot be found or error message, just try and drill-down and select your model from the page..."mainboards" etc.

[termisonon]

You would only be able to use the dos one. which is labeled as: Flash BIOS Update - Boot Disk

 

[termisonon]

i downloaded,its exe file, i didnt double click on it 😀

 

[danny2000]

you need to make your usb thumb drive dos bootable, then you can update the bios

 

[termisonon]

i make my usb bootable with hp usp disk storage tool,but when i come into bios there is no option for flashing bios,what should i do now

 

[danny2000]

If it boots you into dos, you would then run the downloaded file. You should be able to copy the file onto the USB drive also.

 

[termisonon]

it wont boot from usb,its booting from hdd,i select in bios to boot from usb but it boot from hdd and then windows start normaly.this is i litle anoying...

 

[danny2000]

yeah, you have to make the usb drive bootable.

 

[termisonon]

maybe i did something wrong while trying to make the usb drive bootable.i will search for other tutorial for usb,or,maybe you have one 😀

 

[danny2000]

I didn't download the bios files, so I'm not sure if it already included the necessary dos boot files or not.

If not, you can download them from a place like bootdisk.com for dos. or freedos.com

Then you can use your HP boot disk software and point that to your downloaded dos files to make it bootable.

 

[termisonon]

finaly i menage to boot from usb,now when boot from usb dos is apear and i dont know the comand.I put downloaded file from your link (FTS_FlashBIOSUpdateBootDisk_500109_1005545 (this is the name),when double click i have option for write to flopy,cd, or just to extract.I just extracted to a folder named gumish and place him into bootable usb.Restarted pc and here is a dos.what next,how to run bios update?

 

[danny2000]

you would boot to dos with the usb.
once it is booted to DOS,
type: cd gumish and press the Enter key.
Then you would type the name of file that contains the bios.
If you tell me the names, I can tell you which one to type.

 

[termisonon]

DISK.BIM file,nothing else

 

[termisonon]

my mistake,here is the file names
A2151_A1.OMF
AUTOEXEC.BAT
BIOFLASH.EXE
C2151_A1.OMF
CHANGES.TXT
COMMAND.COM
D2151_A1.OCF
KERNEL.SYS
M2151_A1.OMF
P6_INTEL.P4
P6_INTEL.TXT

 

[danny2000]

you can run the autoexec.bat file by typing the name. It should launch the biosflash.exe.
