I am getting Bios failure 501 message on this laptop. I am also trying to update bios using USB flash drive but when I am following the command of hp the option that comes "Update bios on usb for other computer" is not coming. Also my model is HP 8460 P so do let me know how an I make my pendrive bootable for bios (as option is not coming) and also after the process.

(1) Power off notebook

(3) Press and hold <power> button for 30 seconds
(4) Connect charger
(5) Use (another Windows 7/8/10 computer) to create <USB flash drive>
Use a FAT32-formatted small <USB flash drive> (Type USB 2.0)

This package includes several methods for updating the BIOS version as follows:
