BIOS updates are failing for HP Notebook

[brian322]

My notebook unexpectedly booted to a BIOS update a few days ago - f.25 to f.30. After the update, my Windows gave an error for an inaccessible boot device.

I tried to rollback the BIOS to the previous version, but the rollback failed.

When I look up my serial number, HP says there are two compatible BIOS drivers - f.21 and f.28. I created a flash with these, but both failed when I tried to update them in BIOS management - saying the BIOS image specified is not intended for this system. I made a flash with f.25 (the version that was working prior to the unexpected update), and it gives me the same error when I try to rollback with it. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to find a BIOS that can work with my system?
