hi
I have a problem installing a BIOS update. i have a HP Compaq cq61-414eo and have version BIOS version F.21, and want to update it to F.23 but don't know how to do it in Ubuntu. i tried installing Windows XP in Virtualbox, but there is an error saying that i need to be admin to install, even if i am admin (typical windows ). I also tried installing it with Wine and it says the same thing 'InsydeFlash can not load the driver. Please close all applications. If you are running this utility in Windows XP, please run as administrator.'
the reason i am doing this is because i read that this laptop gets very hot and starts crashing after 1-2 hours of use, and that Virtualbox gets confused when trying to install Kali and thinks this is a 32bit, even if it is 64bit (not sure if this is related to the BIOS but worth a try)
is there some other way of installing this update, or am i missing something?
not sure if this is an Ubuntu problem or windows problem, hopefully i'm posting this in the right forum
