If you do not have the hard drive plugged in can you boot to your DVD?
In other words can you boot up, say with Knoppix or equivalent?

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 linux

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.
