Possible solution if you have a USB stick: rufus.akeo.ie
Makes bootable sticks.... put your bios updater on it?

Yes the BIOS does see them both. The trouble is that it was booting
to EFI first now it won't boot to either legacy or EFI. It just sits
there after the setup screen.
Ya thats what I am trying to work with. I have a copy of WINs7 but it
doesn't want to load. This computer doesn't have a floppy and I don't
have access to one at the moment. So I need to find other solutions.

2 thoughts,
1 - Does the bios see the drive physically?
2 - you will need a boot disk (freeDOS or something similar) to
run the executable. or a windows environment.

HP is notoriously horrible about supporting linux on desktop

proprietary acpi implementations, so likely still (haven't
looked in a while) no one bothers to figure out and support them.
My first, and subsequently last, hp laptop I kept the original
windoze disk for this purpose alone, and just loaded new ssd's
with linux. About 6mo ago I sold to a friend, but flashed the
bios from windoze luckily having kept it as the only option I
could find to get a current bios on it. Install xp long
enough on a temp disk to flash it?
This is why I've usually decried HP to the good folks on this
list - they're just not linux friendly, and hardly worth a
darn for anything but servers anymore.

Hi,
I need help again to be able to reflash my BIOS. The reason
is that my computer is having trouble reading my drives, CDs,
or USBs. I know this is the case with the desktop because it
works fine in my laptop. I have tried to reset the BIOS and
thought at first to reinstall GRUB. Nothing is working but
my HDD does show it does have a OS on it.
i already downloaded the BIOS version from HP but it is an
exe file. Could anyone help me to see how I can fix this
problem?

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you
from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze
button.
