Convert HP WinFlash BIOS to a bootable floppy file

Details

NOTE: Performing procedures below may corrupt your motherboard's BIOS if not done properly.  I don’t take any responsibility for anything that results from following these instructions (good or bad). You’re following these instructions at your own risk.

Let's start - this instruction is originally from HP Forum created by Justin Maslack. Download the Crisis Recovery file here.

I had to apply these instructions as I have Windows XP installed in my HP Pavilion dv2000 (dv2533) laptop. After 1.5 years, my motherboard died, I had to replace it and re-downgrade BIOS to version F.13. The seller where I bought the motherboard (PCSuperFreak on eBay) flashed the BIOS with the latest version (version F.2E at that time).

When I downloaded BIOS version F.13 and tried to install it, it won't allow it unless I have Vista installed. So, I need to convert the BIOS file to a bootable floppy version using Phoenix Crisis Recovery. I will not tackle how to create a Crisis Recovery Disk in detail. I attached the file compiled by Justin Maslack which can be downloaded here.

Are you bored of HP Photosmart CD label template? You can use the Nero Cover Designer to create your own CD label design and print it after using your HP Photosmart C5300 series.

“No input file specified” when you type the URL in web browser. (e.g. http://localhost/)

I have Apache and PHP installed, and I am getting this error “No input file specified” when I typed http://localhost in my web browser. To solve this make sure that php.ini & httpd.conf have the same directory name, see example below:

  • for php.ini which is usually located at C:\PHP\ make sure that doc_root is the same as your DocumentRoot for httpd.conf, make not of the forward and backward slashes
    doc_root = "E:\WEBSITES\"
  • for httpd.conf which is usually located at C:\Program Files\......\Apache\
    DocumentRoot "E:/WEBSITES"

    <Directory "E:/WEBSITES">
