Hi guys,
I have been trying to create a bios recovery usb for this machine.
However i am either getting no option to create the usb or getting a message telling me the bios is corrupted.
Can anyone help.?

Hi there again.
thnx for replying.
Now I managed to create recovery disk for this process but when win+B then power whilst holding the keys only the fan and lights come on..
I made a bootable freedos usb and booted into that with the bios file.
But what command do i need..Pls check this photo and tell me what I need to do.
Someone put pw on bios now I need to reset.

I get bad command or filename when I try to run the .bin file.
New to this so some help would be great.
I assume I am in the right directory.?
I tried with and without quotes.
Same error.
Sorry for the vague first post lol..

You can`t do it that way. Try the HP PC HARDWARE DIAGNOSTICS 4-IN-1 USB KEY instead.

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp1040...0/sp104235.exe

If that doesn`t work you`ll need an SPI bios programmer to backup your bios, then post it here and one of the members will try and fix it,or give you a working bios.

Ok smdflea,
I did buy a programmer,just wanted to be sure to try all other methods before disassembly.
Ill try this..thnx
Do I need to create a boot disk with this method?

Re: Hp 430 g3 probook

You will need to make a USB key,just read the README file and click on the makekey.bat ,it will make the key for you .

I tried it..All this does is diagnose the hardware etc ?
I didnt see any reference to the bios. Is that right?
