-The following applies mostly to John Clarke message. John have you looked up what motherboard you have. I know that HP probably isn't using the stock Intel or amd motherboards, but if you can find out it's chipset you might be able to use the vendors, in this case probably intel, own programs. Failing this, I'm sure you can grab a windows xp live cd (I have not personally used one but I know they exist) or use some one else's hardisk as a temporary fix. If you feel like emulating windows, you can do that too.
Perhaps calling HP will yield another version of the update utility. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
