The HP USB Flash Utility that comes with the lastest Intelligent Provisioning ISO [HPIP160.2014_0113.271.iso] version 1.6 or even version 1.7 fails to finish. I also cannot copy the contents of the ISO to the key formatted by the USB Flash Utility.
A straight copy fails with the message "Invalid MS-DOS function." while copying gaius.img.gz. Perhaps this is related?
This must work for somebody because I see many step by step articles on how to upgade Intelligent Provisioning from a USB key.
