    Hi

    Does anyone have any experience of using the program InsyDeco?

    If so, do they know if it is supposed to be able to decompress the xxxxxxx.fd type of file that you can access if you download (and unpack) certain HP Bios update utilities?

    I've downloaded sp45056 from the HP site which when unpacked includes the file 30F1F0F.fd but when I run InsyDeco on this, the program doesn't seem to think it's an InsydeBIOS file. I'm just wondering if 30F1F0F.fd is not the correct type of file to use with the program or if my copy of the program is corrupted in some way.

    (This is related to my efforts to restore my bios mentioned in this thread)


    Thanks for any help.
