The bios is Phoenix/Award version 3.11 I would appreciate any help to get windows 7 installed. I tried getting information from Hp and MSI but no help at either place.
thanks Thanks for the reply... the reason that I was trying to get the USB working was because I could not get a DVD to work I took the DVD out of my wife's computer (she has a computer that is almost exactly like mine) and put it in my computer but could not get it to burn DVDs. None of my burning software recognized the DVDs I was trying to burn. I just downloaded the Magicdisk and will check it out. I was able to install Win7 this morning because it was an upgrade. I was surprised, but very happy that everything went so smooth. Again, thanks for your help. Don't need the bios upgrade now because I have win7 installed (yea!).
