hey,

and many thank's!

 

you're shure that the driver works also with ws 10?

the last supported system is ws 8....

 

another question about the login to this forum:  every time i login there are problems (incorrect password!), and the resetting emails will not be sent.  i have the same problem in german hp-forum!  can you please tell me what's going on?

Yes.  I have ran a BIOS update on windows 10 when the laptop came preinstalled with windows 7.

hey Dudefoxlive,

 

i'm very unsure if i should do the bios upgrade. yeserday i tried - as a test, two of the other offered drivers (camera, usb hub) to install, both did not work.  i read that one - if the bios upgrade fails, can perform a recovery of the old one....

but it often comes to big problems!

 

do you have experiences with such problems?

I have not had a BIOS update fail yet but usually i recommend not updating the BIOS unless there is some patch or feature that you can really use.  I would not really worry about UEFI boot as I usually disable it to install Windows 7.

the reason why i like to upgrade the bios is that i can't boot a fat32 usb stick with a debian distribution!

what other problem could it be than an old bios without uefi? in this bios uefi boot can be activated but there is a window with warning:

UEFI is not needed to boot debian USB.  How did you create the USB?

 How did you create the USB?

i downloaded the iso file and the universal usb installer

 

the stick works very well on my dell desktop pc.....! why not on the hp book?

i think that anything is wrong in the bios settings. do you know yourself well with the peculiar bios of this notebook? I could send you screenshots

Try using Rufus to create a Bootable USB.
