trying to make bios recovery usb drive for G60 (using my OTHER laptop but says "not for this pc" ?

I did see the info about using the CRISDISK software but the thread was from someone using WinXP, so I did not know if that was still valid.  That would have been my next suggestion.  I had also found the one suggesting the way I posted as being the same as the CRISDISK way since I did not know what that software actually did.

Anyways, glad it is sorted.  I suggest that you post the procedure that you followed and where the CRISDISK was found for any others that might need to do the same thing.  It would be help if you told what the CRISDISK software did to the USB flash drive and any screen prompts, also.  Look at the drive in file explorer to see what is on the flash drive, if you would please.

Hello, by the way I did try your suggestion of 360AF54.WPH  on a usb stick (with nothing else on it/formatted to fat32) and I tried it and just my luck at the time I was having a problem whereby laptop was powering up straight from power lead being inserted (seemed to be a problem with power button) anyway so I thought "welll what difference is it gonna make, hold win key and b key when I shove lead in must be same as if powering on from button" so I did that and as far as I can remember got response such as usb stick was active and couple of beeps but nothing else, anyway the power button resolved and I could do the correct process and I think a similar situation followed, (no completion shutting down etc) thats when I thought " oh I will try the 360AF54.WPH  via the CRISDISK method.  So I formatted usb stick again and did the CRISDISK process to make bootable usb stick and I looked on the usb stick to see what it had done and there was BIOS.WPH (thats the360AF54.WPH which I had renamed),   MINIDOS.SIS and PHLASH16.    I got CRISDISK last saturday after "googling" my problem.   It was easy to use,   the bios file that I required is copied into CRISDISK directory (file location whatever) and then when CRISDISK is open there is a file actually called WINCRIS ( an icon looks like a floppy disk?) application double click that then  (in fact when I double clicked it went on about there was no blank disc or something) so I right clicked on it and tried "run as administrator" and then it opened on desktop,   very basic looking interface, just clicked on "start" because the usb was in and I had done all that I needed to do and then it did its thing and I had the flash drive ready to use.    I book marked the page last Saturday and its "Tech Support Guy".  In the address bar it says https://forums.techguy.org/thread/bios-recovery-usb.1170754/

Yep that is the htread where I read about wincris/crisdisk.   And the info about how to do it after making the Recovery USB.

Did you actually download from that Media Fire link?

From the files you listed, it appears as to have made the USB bootable with a "Dos" type program.
