My Hp M01-f1224 turned off after a power outage last night. I turn it on this morning and it initiates a bios update I let it go come back and the bios update failed and its now in a loop. I downloaded the latest bios on the hp support site for the pc and extractd it to a flash drive using the bios install too. pressed windows+B it will initiate the bios recovery page but wont see the flash drive. I have tried 3 flash drives two different bios versions reset the cmos tried pressing esc and f9 keys I am at a loss. Anyone have any ideals before I pitch it?

Greetings @m1urre
Welcome to the HP Forum.
You tried to recover the BIOS using the BIOS Recovery procedure shown at this HP Site. The PC can't read the USB drive.
Scroll down to "Recover the BIOS". Check all instructions to verify you did not miss a step.
The only other option I can think of would be to have a local PC Tech flash the BIOS using a Serial ISP Programmer.
I don't know what a PC Tech would charge for the above BIOS recovery procedure, and I can't say it will work. So it may not be cost effective.
