can't install vista on HP HDX9010nr

[cstmyers]

I recently purchased a HP HDX9010nr that didn't come with a hard drive. When I went to install Vista on the hard drive I installed it said I needed to update my bios. When I downloaded the new bios to put on a floppy it is 2 mb. I know it's something simple but I'm missing it. Any ideas?

Hi, and WELCOME TO TECHIMO - from the Folding@Home Team (#111)..!

You say that you've downloaded the new BIOS, but have you upgraded/uploaded it yet..?

OIC...

Personally, I haven't flashed the BIOS of a computer, but you might be able to do that from a USB stick or drive.

I've just done a quick Google and this was the top result..
