    when i was updating bios - envy 15 3033cl(F.07 -> F.08) , it stopped and bios has corrupted.

    before i deleted the partiton : HP_TOOLS
    so, it cannot recover bios automatically.
    few days ago, when the partition was existed, Envy recover Bios from corruption well.

    for this reason, this time i make HP_TOOLS in USB memory from another computer, but i don't know what to put in H:\Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\Current and Previous.

    following image is files in Envy 15-3xxx F.07 Bios provided from HP support.

    what can i do?

    and if you can, i want to get file that is in other envy 15-3xxx user's HP_TOOLS partiton converted ZIP File.
    Or, can you tell me the composition of HP_TOOLS\Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\Current and Previous.
    that will be the key of this prob and can solve my problem I think.

    i'm longing to wait someone's help

    When you boot hold down windows and B.. If I'm correct, that'll go into a Bios Recovery?

    No. Is it a correct way in envy series?
    When I boot the notebook, CapsLock LED blinks 1 time about 30 secs and turn to blink 2 times, with no responding.
    I cannot do anything this condition.

    I think I have to know other user's HP_TOOLS partition's files.
    Also I think those files of directory are the key of this problem : HP_TOOLS:\HEWLETT-PACKERD\BIOS\Current, Previous.

    Is there anyone sending me the partiton with ZIP Files?
    I really need other user's help. please.

    And, Sorry about my bad English.
    Thank you in advance.
