To help everyone who has the issue with putting the feature byte back into a virgin motherboard.

1- Download HP Bios Configuration Utility

2-  cd C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\BIOS Configuration Utility

3- BiosConfigUtility64.exe /get:config.txt     #This will read the bios of your system, and store it in a text file <config.txt>

4- Edit the config.txt with notepad                 #paste the feature byte from HP partsurf site that matches you system serial number and save the file , make sure to remove the spaces from img1 and img2

5-  BiosConfigUtility64.exe /set:config.txt    # This will write the bios configuration to the bios eeprom.

6- If there are no error messages, then the program will ask you to restart your computer.

7- If there are errors, fix them , and try again

Hope this helps easing your suffering
