Have you tried upgrading your kernel? Your bios?
How do you update the bios? I've got Version F.17 and HP shows a version F.19 on their site-- the problem is that all they provide is an exe file that needs to be run under winXP-- after wrestling dual boot issues for a few days I decided it wasn't worth the hastle and the wasted partition. Anyone have suggestions on how to do this?
back in the days of win9x I could do all this stuff jsut fine-- but I've been able to avoid any serious work in the windows world for 5+ years [it's been kind of nice actually]. But anyways-- in win9x-- I would have made a basic boot floppy or something like that to get a command prompt and just run the exe from there--
now-- I'm not sure where to begin-- I've got a winXP distro disk-- but that doesn't want to give me a command prompt [does it?] It just wants to install the whole mess. Is there a light weight version of XP like a bootable cd-rom that could load up and let me run this?
