Solution:

For BIOS 501 Error:

You deleted the efi-partition (HP_Tools). You can get past this message by disabling HP Quicklook 2 in your BIOS.

1. Open up your BIOS (by pressing F10 while your machine is booting up)
2. Go to System Configuration / Device Configurations
3. Look for an option called "HP Quicklook" or "HP Quicklook 2"
4. Set it to "Disabled"
6. Save the changes (hit F10)
7. Restart your machine.

Actually, I think this just recovered my laptop! Thanks for posting, guys!

Try shorting the CMOS battery 1st; that might have saved me from buying a USB floppy drive. 😉http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/DV9858ca-won-t-boot-after-bios-update-wo...
