Re: ZV600 hp bios problem
Unfortunately, bad BIOS flashes are a kiss of death in laptops. There is usually not a removable BIOS chip and laptops don't have BIOS recovery jumpers. If there does happen to be a modular BIOS chip (I do know of one case in an HP laptop where there was one), then you can replace it with another chip containing the correct BIOS.

Re: ZV600 hp bios problem
ok thanks but ive heard that with the pheonix bios that you take the battery out and unplug it and hold down the windows key + B and you get the post beeps and ive heard that if you have a usb floppy drive hooked up that this send the laptop in to a bios recovery mode that hp doesnt want people to know about and thats why ive asked about the crisis recovery disk.. does any one know about this?

Re: ZV600 hp bios problem
If you have flashed the wrong BIOS then clearing the CMOS (I think that's what you are saying) won't work. As for bad BIOS recovery, I don't know about using a floppy, but someone else might.
