HP G70-457CA
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have a HP G70-457CA and I flashed with the latest BIOS sp51485. Flash appeared to go fine but computer will no longer load Win 7 and ends in a error to power off. I tried a re-install but setup  ends with same error.

 

I can boot to DOS but not Windows so I would like to re-flash the BIOS from DOS.

 

What utility can I use to Flash this laptop from DOS?

 

 

 

Thanks for any help.
