    Is there an emergency BIOS recovery procedure with CF-18?

    I know with most HP business laptops, if the unthinkable happens and the BIOS gets corrupted from a bad flash etc. You can put a certain bunch of files on a USB stick/USB floppy and the laptop will look for and recover the BIOS from those files while it sitting there not booting.

    Later HP laptops have 2 copies of the BIOS stored onboard, in addition to the recovery procedure.

    So is there something similar for the CF-18 or other toughbooks?
