Plus rufus doesn't see my USB drive when my laptop does. As for
trying to open an EFI shell, thats not happening.

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

get help there. They're also quite
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.
