I’ve booted from a DOS USB stick successfully but when I run AFUDOS with a 5. I can get into setup and I’ve cleared the CMOS etc. There are 2 newer versions but they appear to require windows to run and I can’t boot into windows.

I’d like to try to update the BIOS since it’s the original and I think it’s corrupted.

I can’t get past a blue screen (BSOD)when Windows tries to start which states …The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant… I’ve researched this site and the web and can’t find an answer that works. IMPORTANT: If you have an HP BIOS and the recovery method above was unsuccessful, please rename the recovery BIOS to HPBIOS.ROM and try again. This procedure is also applicable with USB drives on most newer systems that use AMI. For AMI BIOS recovery, the floppy disk does not have to be bootable and no flash utility is required. Sometimes, taking out the CMOS battery to clear the configuration settings or resetting the CMOS jumper switch to clear the CMOS may help too. Note: If a USB keyboard does not work, try using a PS/2 keyboard.

When the computer beeps four (4) times or a reboot prompt is displayed, you may remove the floppy disk.
