    I'm about to reformat my HGL-30, could you please tell me what drivers I will need to install? Links would be nice too.

    Also, could you provide me with instructions to flash the BIOS, as well as the latest version? Thanks in advance.

    HGL30 drivers (and BIOS) are found here

    Scroll down to "Model:HGL30 / 31(spec)"

    The site takes a while to load, it's a pretty cruddy design.

    If you are using VIsta, the stuff in green is what you want, as they are all vista drivers. Theres no point in updating to the latest Vista BIOS unless you are using it. Updating if your using XP doesn't seem to reap any extra benefits. I'm staying with 114.

    If you are using XP, the row where GL30 is bolded, and it has "~380MB" in the File Size column is what you would want. Talk about confusing eh? :)

    If you mouse over some of the links, it has a path that it will go to. The Row that I explained has this path for the bluetooth driver :"http://www.bizcom-us.com/support/HGL3031/ XPDrivers/09BTW5011500.zip"

    Notice how it says XPdrivers. Thats how I determined which drivers you would want. Thats also why I edited my original post :p.
