Hello @Pinkhron 

 

The HP Drivers and Software Page has been removed, but you can still download all required drivers from here:

 

http://hpnotebookdrivers.com/hp-pavilion-dv4-2145dx-entertainment-notebook-pc-windows-7-64-bit-drive...

All software and drivers are linked to official HP Download Server, so they are safe !

 

BIOS

WinFlash for HP Notebook System BIOS (for Notebooks with AMD Processors) F.18

 

 

Good luck

Am I able to put this on a flash drive and flash the bios?

HP Recommended

It's <WinFlash Utility>

flash the system BIOS (ROM) on notebooks operating in a supported Microsoft

(1) You will have to install windows 7 on computer <HP dv4-2145dx>

(2) then run winflash bios setup file [ sp49543.exe ] on windows 7

(3) You're done.

I am trying to put the BIOS driver on a flash drive. I don't have windows installed right now and I am trying to flash the BIOS without windows.

HP Recommended

I am doing this because I wiped my laptop's hard drive and need the BIOS back,

Hello @Pinkhron 

 

Please take a look at this very useful youtube video to reflash your bios:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LLPhdymPeo&ab_channel=thecollegepicker

It explains how to correctly save the Bios flash files to a USB flash drive and then use it.

 

Try it out.

 

Please report your results

I don't see the "BIOS Update Utility" all I get is the InsydeFlash window

HP Recommended

This file can only be run on HP dv4-2145dx

Use 7-zip to extract .exe file to get desired files to put on flash drive following the youtube video.
