Update to my HP Notebook Firmware - EFI Boot loader
Good day all -
Can anybody explain the below in user friendly English exactly what I am to do?
I am trying to download an update to my HP15 notebook and receiving an error message -
Windows is using an EFI boot loader, we cant deploy the update. Refer to ReadMe file for instructions to update the firmware locally.
Here is the ReadMe instructions:
HOW TO USE: 1. Download the file by clicking the Download or Obtain Software button and saving the file to a folder on your hard drive (make a note of the folder where the downloaded file is saved).To run the utility locally under Windows (for legacy BIOS systems only): 1. Double-click the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
To deploy the utility to an enterprise (for legacy BIOS systems only): 1. Open a command prompt and execute the downloaded file with the '-e' switch (for example: SP72533 -e) to extract the contents of the softpaq.2. Go to the directory where the files are saved. The default directory location is C:\SWSetup\SP72533. 3. Use the HitachiHD2FWUpdate.exe utility in combination with the '-s' (unattended) and '-r' (reboot) switches to deploy the HGST hard drive firmware update.
To get option 1 to work can I change anything in the startup.
or the second option, what is an enterprise and explain the -e, -s, or -r switches, what are they.
Please help I am completely and utterly confused.
