HP-TRE 71025 -- BIOS Corrupt or Missing -- Application Error (501)

[sergioso]

Hi all,

i removed all partitions from this laptop for a clean windows 10 64 bit install.

The install process seem went good but unfortunately

afterall seem the BIOS has been removed.

So that the laptop do not even recognize the HDD (flash HDD i assume)

Install pendrive with windows 10 64 bit still boot

What i have to do now?

There is the possibility to load a firmware

image painelssly to have win10 restored?

Or at least restore the BIOS?

Tnx.

The BIOS is not corrupt or missing.

Sounds like your hard drive failed. That was probably what prompted you to do this although you neglected to tell us.

The BIOS seem still corrupt

or a part of it missing (as some part was resident on the Flash drive emmcblkid2)

I wiped all the inner emmc so i have no more the BIOS menu (they call it BIOS app)

but a persistent BIOS app loading error.

On some HP notebook after this error of missing BIOS, it is automatically re-flashed

but this not happen on this model HP-TRE 71025. The error remain persistent,

the machine is not able to self recover.

Is resident a kind of UEFI bootloader

(i call bootloader since i do not know how much is a Full BIOS)

that only was able to load and install Fedora 32.

Rebooting it without any problem.

So far tested windows 10 (install but fail to boot -- Missing HDD it say) --

Also i strongly do not suggest windows 10

since for example the 1909 hogs 20GB of the flash drive,

with updates on, the machine goes out of service immediately.

--

I tested 3-4 GNU/Linux distribuition. Linux Mint UEFI do not start at all

Ubuntu explode at half of the live image loading.

--

The machine was returned to the customer.

So i can not test more things on it.

It was a nightmare...

An handicapped machine with 32GB of flash ( and type-C ??!?! )

today can not use more than Fedora.

(Windows 7 i skipped totally the idea)

Windows10 1909... 29GB used after first win10 update, 1GB free

--

With Fedora GNU/Linux 32 is still a pretty machine at the end,

( /home on SDCard i used a 100MB/s card )

Thank you for your support anyway.
