I'm trying to create a recovery tool on a different pc so I can use it to restore the bios on the broken down system. I'm not trying to create the backup tool while updating the bios on the broken down pc. I'm not sure I quite understood your response. It's a somewhat common problem but hasn't been adequately answered or addressed anywhere, either on this site or on the internet in general. The file I'm trying to create the tool from in an executable with the filename sp68425.exe I got from HP website from my laptop's support page. Why is this happening? What do I need to do to create this dang tool? I tried creating the tool on four different computers and all end with the same result: the option to create the tool is grayed out. WHY in the heck is that option grayed out? I've tried to create this tool using both FAT32 and NTFS formatted USB drives as well as a 16GB USB drive, an 8 GB drive and a 2 GB drive.
I went through the instructions from this page but I can't create the recovery tool because the option in Step 12, Figure 4 "Create an HP BIOS Recovery USB flash drive to recover another HP device" is grayed out. I no longer have the HP_TOOLS partition on the hard drive so I need to create the USB recovery tool. I'm getting the black screen and the 2x blink code telling me I have BIOS corruption.
