I don't want to get into a big OT discussion on the list (esp. being new here), but it looks like this just boots a dos image. I've been able to boot dos on a cd iso I got on allbootdisks.com, and access the HP flash utility (which is just a bundled version of the Phoenix bios winphlash utility) on a usb key, but it says it won't run in dos mode. It will apparently (from what I've read) run at a dos command prompt within windoze. But windoze won't run from a cd without being installed (again according to what I've read), and that's what I want to avoid. But thanks for the suggestion. Shocky -- These are my opinions.
