The info I found on that BIOS update indicated it was good for the dv2100 notebooks with Intel processors, but looking at the screen where you ran the file, it indicates it is for the dv2100's with AMD processors which is why it won't update the BIOS.

 

Here is the correct Intel BIOS file link for your notebook (F.39):
