hello to all i have read some of the posts here about bios recover i think i have undestud the main of the procedure, but i have some questions: i have download the bios from hp site:sp34600.exe i have extracted the files to a new folder and i have 3 bios files (i think): - 309DF21.P20 - 309EF21.P20 - 309DF21.P21 well i was confused i expect only one bios file!!! . . . after loking and read some of those files i found something in the flash1.ini (yes i must say also that the bios file only work in windows mode): #PCI\Ven_8086&DEV_2592=309DH01.wph #PCI\Ven_1002&DEV_5653=309EH01.wph ROM_PCI_A!KA=80001000,25928086,0,309DF21.P20 ROM_PCI_A!KA=80001000,25928086,1,309DF21.P21 ROM_PCI_A!KA=80010000,56531002,0,309EF21.P20 i have look in the internet about those controlers and i think my bios is the 309EF21.P20, because the PCI\Ven_8086&DEV_2592 is the intel video driver and the PCI\Ven_1002&DEV_5653 is the ati video driver, and my hp comes whit one ati radeon x700. of corse im not 100% sure about this. i have tryed some of those procedures to recover the bios but until now nothing . . . i must say that the hp had some problems, it was "stopped" for a wile, and when i decide to work with it again it has some problems that i have assumed that it needs one bios update. as i refered hp bios only work in windows mode but like the hp was erratic when i update it went wrong . . . but at the time it was the only metod that i knew to flash the bios. meen wile i found this forum i have read some posts and i wolld like to ask to someone that can help me the mais questions are the bios file is the correct one? can i try to update the bios with those metods once my bios only is flashable from windows? thanks in advance, sorry for my english moreiras
