Hello
I have the strangest issue creating the thumb drive to flash the rompaq on the server.
I downloaded the proper rompaq from the page: SP63007.exe
(I can't point the right http address, because that part of the hp website seems to be down today)
install and follow the instructions, a program called: c:\SWSetup\SP63007\ROMPaq USB Key\HPQUSB.exe
Select my flash drive and start the process, take a long time, like 6 or 7 minutes, and when it's done, i have in the flash drive copied my entire contents of %userprofile%\Downloads folder (no boot files, no rompaq bios)
OK, maybe the HPQUSB doesn't like my computer and somewhat confuses it.
repeat the process on my Thinkpad, now it creates the boot files, but instead of copy the rompaq, it copies my entire content of %appdata%\Desktop
what is going on?
This is the first time I flash a server, but I have some experience flashing from motherboards, notebooks, gpus, harddrives, etc I have never seen tomething like this.
My os is Windows 7 64 bit, without SP1. installed on C: drive (both machines have SSD's )
the desktop is a ASUS mobo with six core AMD phenom cpu, 8 GB ram, samsung 840 pro ssd.
the notebook is thinkpad t430, i5, 8gb, with intel msata ssd.
I am lost.
will try again with a virtualized XP to see if I can do it there.
any ideas?
thank you!
