DOS Flash HP G70-457CA BIOS

[MrMike59]

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.

Hi The_Fossette thanks for your reply.

The computer has a new hard drive so there is no recovery partition.

I would like to make a recovery USB but the BIOS file sp51485.exe  does not give me the option.

How can I make the recovery USB  to load the BIOS file 360BF65.FD(extracted from sp51485)?

Thanks.
