hi

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-gaming-desktop-pc-tg01-1000a/37921127/product-info

 

which model do you have exactly?
the error message displayed for the bios, is only "no space on drive"

How much disk space do you have available?

@DaveKowalski -- from the Windows "Start" button, type "clean", to get a list of things that reference "clean".]

Select and run the Windows "Disk Cleanup" utility.  This will free-up some space on your "C:" drive-letter.

 

Or, are you using a USB memory-stick?  It could be "full".

@DaveKowalski -- Recently, I dissected a BIOS update for a different HP motherboard. Within the files, there was a ".BAT" file that did a few things:

 

  1. Assign the "Z:" drive-letter to a usually-hidden "System Recovery" partition on the disk-drive.
  2. Copy the new BIOS file into that file-system.
  3. Launch a utility program (found within that partition) to apply the BIOS update from that new copy.
  4. Remove the assignment of the "Z:" drive-letter.

It could be that "hidden" partition that does not have enough free disk-space for step #2, above.

 

So, the remedy would be to do step #1, above, yourself, and then delete some files (or move them to a USB memory-stick), to free-up some space. Then, try the BIOS Update process.
