cause it is 5:00 am now...very sleepy in typing and thinking it is very long story.... I promise to have a report tomorow...thank you Busykids I am very appreciated....
provided by 911medic a link for slic 2.1 for my pavillion dv8301nr and i hope its for that, however can you please describe how to implement it step by step i would appriciate it, no feedback cause i have just logged on. thanks a lot ahead of time but i need directions
so let me get this straight first i run the .exe to determine which one to use, then i rename one of them to the name you said then run winflash and it will take over from there right? (cause i cannot use my usb, my usb sockets i have 3 1.1 and 1 2.0, they show unknown device , your device malfunctioned when i try to plug in a hd of usb drive, however a mouse works and like any other usb item that isnt a mass storage device. i tried all to fix this and i cannot, this will hopefully do it. soooo... the instructions are right ? thats how i do it right?
And you just absolutely confused me with that long winded answer...what in the hell did you say?... Since 911medic started this with you, you finish it with him....I will stay out of it...sorry
Hahaha...That is an understatement...loong winded...not at all coherent.... I see if I can make the best of it.. @szalajko: It seems you have more problems than activating windows..You should reinstall the OS and make sure all is working before the bios flash..This bios will not fix your hardware issues... Just run the executable from HP..The SP.exe file and see what the output is, then flash the same modded file of teh same name from dos...orrrrr...... The winflash should pick and flash for you... read the HP site on bios update if you cannot grasp the situation...
sorry, ok here is the info in terms that are unwinded lol. i cannot use my usb ports as they do not recognize mass storage devices. However if i were to plug in a usb mouse or headphones they will be recognized and work. I have tried everything to fix this problem, the drivers are correct. i am hoping that the bios update will fix this. Also when i restart my computer i get this string amongst many: (media test faled : check the cables) not sure what that means. i need the directions on how to update the bios from windows as i cannot do it through dos because of the reason i mentioned above. so.... 1. i run the .exe file 911 mentioned to make sure which of the 2 files to use 2. rename the file to the name 911 mentioned 3. i run the winflash utility and that will do the rest. correct? i have windows 7 and i have tried updating my bios from the hp site, i did the steps, however while it was updating it said that it couldnt access the PHLASHNT.SYS file and to check if i am running as admin (which i was) then went out of setup. that is the reason i need to know the proper steps. thank you, i hope this infor is in a manner to your understanding
ok but ummm which wph file do i use there is 2, also someone said rune the sp and let it show you which one, when i run the sp it extracts and there is still 2 files there, same name as the ones from the slic 2.1 folder that i extracted the slic2.1 files to
