after updating the BIOS of my HP 280 G2 MT to the version A0.58, the system won't recognize any SSD and as consequence, won't boot from any SSD.

older BIOS (MAN_A0.27) WORKS

I SOLVED IT I USE THIS  TO DOWNGRADE TO 0.27 BIOS , NOW ALL SSD WORKS...SO HP DO IT INTENTIONALLY TO THE NEW BIOS?

 

Hi

I tricked the BIOS by doing these steps for my Crucial SSD

 

1) download ver. A.27  sp81117.exe

2) download current version: A0.57  sp110515.exe

3) I created recovery USB flash drive with A.27, once finished explore usb: inside the Bios folder there are 3 folders:

current

new

previous

copy the .bin file in the (new) folder paste it on the desktop.

4) now the same procedure in point 3 with A0.57 just created the usb recovery, explore the usb again there are the same folders as in point 3

In the (current) folder there is the current bios firmware.

In the (new) folder, delete what's inside, and paste what you have saved on your desktop.

5) shut down your PC

6) insert usb pendrive

7) now hold down the win key + B and the power key at the same time, after 3 seconds leave only the power key. You will hear 8 beeps if I remember correctly. At this point also release the win + B key, update Bios will appear on the screen when it is finished, upon reboot it will notify you that bios update has been carried out press enter wait for the s.o to start Turn off again and plug in SSD you will see it will boot.

  On my HP 280 G2 it worked. I hope you too.
