I was able to update the BIOS on my HP DX2300 (also a business-class Micro
Tower) with so-called 'Microsoft only' tools.
I made a FreeDOS floppy and put the DOS AWFLASH executable with the BIOS
*.bin file and it went great!
Send me your Laptop details, and I'll send you a solution for updating the
BIOS without Windows.
