HP Recommended
Product: ProBook 640 G1
Operating System: Linux

Hi, I'm looking to update the BIOS on an old ProBook 640 G1. The laptop has linux installed Cenos.

 

Now under linux I have an EFI directory, that currently contains:

 

BOOT

centos

 

The bios update unpacks to a SP96081 directory, that contains a BIOSUpdate directory that contains efi type files.

 

Now I've tried putting this under EFI/HP/BIOSUpdate - but update BIOS started from the BIOS says Unable to open the BIOS Image file.

 

So what exactly should I create from the files extracted from the BIOS update, can I do this from the EFI partion?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

David.
