$30 Bounty for solution/fix
#1
I would like to offer a bounty to whoever can help fix problem or come up with a solutions.


So here's what I've got:

HP Pavilion Dv7 Notebook
Product Number: VM188UA#ABA
BIOS Verison: InsydeH20 Rev. 3.5 F.1D

Screen Shot of Original Bios

I was over at www.bios-mods.com & BDMaster a forum Moderator supplied me with an unlocked bios for my laptop.

Well now when I try to boot to windows or boot to install a new copy of windows from DVD I get this oxc0000225 error

I"ve been trying to get into Windows so that I can use InsydeH20 flash utility to flash the original bios back and hopefully that will fix it. But I can't seem to get into windows to do that. I've tried like Windows to go, WinToUSB and I'm working on Windows PE now in hopes that works.

I've even tried installing windows XP but the install fails.

I've tried downloading the HP UEFI and used it in combination with Andy's tools. I don't think my bios is encrypted, but I did use the tool to find out the name that I should use for my bios. It suggested E.BI? C.BI? C.BI? So I'm assuming I just put two copies in the H:\Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\Current\ folder one being E.BIN and the other being C.BIN -does that look right?

Well anyways I plugin the flash drive with the computer off, and I press & hold "Windows Key" and "B" and power on the computer my screen goes blank and the USB drive just does a steady blink there is no sound or anything else that occurs.

I can still get into bios if I need, which is the unlocked version , but can't boot to windows or install windows because I get a oxc0000225 error.

I can boot to some versions of linux, but I don't know much about linux

So I'm not sure what to do at this point? Any ideas? If I could just somehow flash the old bios onto it I should be ok, or just solve the problem in the bios that is causing the oxc0000225 error.

Anyways I really appreciate your time, I'm willing to donate for some help.


Thanks again,

Hello!It's seems that XP not supporting ACPI version.HP hides more of BIOS menus and you cannot change some options.You can ask BDMaster to unlock specific menus and change to compatible values.
For example, my option "ACPI selection" hidden in SYSTEM CONFIGURATION.XP not supporting ACPI version above then 2.0,
Try to get BIOS with unlocked menu and change version.
Good luck!
