Pavilion g6-2235us bios update failed - error msg on boot

I've had trouble updating to Windows 8.1, so I did a bios update, as recommended by the HP Web Site, but it failed, and now the laptop won't boot. It displays error message "Your computer needs to be repaired:\bcd, error code 0xc0000034..." Additional info is available by hitting escape, and I can get into a black screen with options:
f1 System information
f2 System diagnostics
f9 Boot device options
f10 BIOS setup
f11 system recovery
I've been down all those paths, with no luck on proceeding any further. f10 shows me all the bios setup screens and the bios version shown is F29, the version that I tried to upgrade to.
I've tried removing the big battery and pressing the start button for one minute - no joy.
I've tried holding Windows+B+start - no joy
I guess I'm down to trying to create a USB Key with the BIOS on it, and that's where I am stumped. The BIOS softpaq for this machine is sp66880.exe. I've got that on a fat32 usb stick with the volume label HP_Tools, and I've got HP tools on the stick too. When I try to boot with the stick by pressing windows+b+start, the light on the USB stick flashes a lot, but ultimately I get the message "The system bios recovery failed. Unable to open bios image file." I have the feeling that I just don't have the proper setup on that USB stick. I tried to run sp66880.exe on another computer, but it tells me that it is going to immediately flash the bios, which I definitely don't want to do (on my Toshiba laptop!).
I would greatly appreciate any help you all can give me on how to create the recovery USB stick in the proper format. Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

Fixed!
It turns out that the bios update actually succeeded, but something in the hard drive boot files got corrupted. I was able to make a Windows 8 Recovery USB stick on another machine, and finagle around to have the HP laptop reformat the hard drive to original factory condition. Fortunately, I made a very recent Macrium image before this most recent problem started, so the next step is to restore that image. With the new v. F29 bios, hopefully this beast will finally upgrade to Windows 8.1.

Bios update failed, laptop doesn't boot

Hi everyone. I'm having a major problem with my HP 2000-355DX. I tried to update it to the latest BIOS version using the BIOS file I downloaded from the HP drivers and software section. The BIOS updated and then restarted. Upon restart the screen stayed black and the caps lock key blinked twice. I found out that this means a BIOS corruption error. I have tried booting with windows key + B but it does not work. Is there anyway I can create a BIOS recovery flash drive? I dont get why this would happen

I downloaded the original BIOS and extracted it onto a flash drive named HP_Tools. I then booted the PC while pressing windows key + B. The lights begin to blink on the USB stick and blick for about 5 seconds before the caps lock key starts blinking again. This leads me to believe the PC is searching for a BIOS recovery file but can not find out. Can anyone help with this?

700-210 Bios Update Failed - PC Won't Boot

HP Support Assistant recommended that I update my Bios last night. It also wanted to do a few device drivers. I accepted all of its prompts and did nothing else while it worked through everything. It then wanted to reboot, so I let it. After it rebooted the monitor does not turn on and I get 6 beeps. I looked through the support site at drivers and downloads and believe it was trying to do an update of the BIOS that was released on June 14, 2015. I can't even get to that page tonight, because HP's site just hangs and never returns when searching for the software and drivers for it (note, i'm on a different computer obviously). This document says that since this is a "Security update" it is not possible to revert to previous versions of the BIOS. Even so, I tried this: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-ENVY-700-Desktop-PC-series/5399651/model/5407178/document/c04126730/ When I look at the HP troubleshooting guide for errors after updating AMI-BIOS, the chart does not list a possible cause for 6 beeps (it has 5 and 7). Any suggestions for how I recover from here?

Does anybody even know if HP will support this product since the complete loss of my PC is due to the HP Support Assistant? I had a perfectly working PC before letting it do its thing.

Figure 1: Error message
The error displays when ...
the update requires certain hardware or software that is not installed on your computer (examples: keyboard replaced with a non-HP keyboard or Microsoft .NET software is not installed),
the computer does not meet a certain minimum hardware or software requirement (examples: 4 GB minimum memory, 200 MB free disk space, or .NET version 2.0 required and 1.0 is installed) .
Usually, this error indicates the update is not needed for your computer and it should not be installed.

System BIOS update failed

Hello,
I need your help. I ran HP System Diagnostics following recent BSOD incidents (about 3) on my Pavilion dv6. I ran all the tests successfully except Memory Test as it takes 6 hours (approximately).
Interestingly the BIOS test came up with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file". I tried running BIOS driver update from th HP website for my dv6 notebook but I am not sure it worked. During the update the computer would shut down - is that normal?
What can I do to check that my BIOS from 25 January 2013 is the current version? More importantly prevent future BSOD appearing. I have plenty of memory, so rather intrigued. Ran Norton and Microsoft Security and no viruses etc.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Barbs

Hi,
So the system shut down is normal for BIOS update and if I can restart the computer, therefore assuming the update worked.
I checked HP System Diagnostics the BIOS test still returns with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Barbs

You must install all Windows 8 Update, before you windows 8.1 Update use
Never use MS Defender and other antivirus software.
After successful system update, install this software

I am running the latest version 10.0.5 through a Macbook Pro that has just been upgraded to 16GB Ram and a 960GB SSD which has made it as fast as ****. I upgraded because I was experiencing problems before and it was suggested that I didn't have enough Ram?
I am using a Focusrite scarlett 2i4 and an Alesis Q61 midi controller. Weirdly, just trying to put a bass line down on a track using the Alesis, the bass sound goes out of tune with the track during recording only. This is very frustrating! I surely can't be the only one experiencing this?
Many thanks
Rob.

Hi
Time lost could be a problem, but.....
Sadly, I don't think that there are any Apple docs relating to networked storgae issues with Logic. Other than a 'school' or 'business' setup, NAS/OD/AD setups are not usual circumstances for audio.
If the issue is one of data backup & security, it may be enough to automatically backup the students local work folders to the NAS.
If the issue is one of the Users being able to work from any Mac and pick up their files from the server, you are not likely to resolve this problem, without copying the files to the Local Mac.

Problem updating After Effects CC (2014) I get this message: Update Failed Error encountered during installation. (U44M1P7)

Hi,
It’s version 13.1.1 It’s a trial version.
I am updating it from the Creative cloud desktop application.
I have the photography subscription with Lightroom and Photoshop with Creative Cloud.
I was interested in trying out the video software and have trials of Premiere Pro as well as others. The CC desktop app alerted me to the AF update just as it does for the others I subscribe to plus the ones I am using as trials. I have not had any problems with the other apps (trial or not), only with AF.
Thanks.

Several users are reporting a server problem with Software Update. Why not wait and try again later today or tomorrow to see if the problem is resolved.
If the problem is on your computer then give this a try:
Fix for Software Update
See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
Delete the following files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist where "xxx" is a number.

Cc Photoshop 2014 update fails error U43M1D206

cc Photoshop 2014 update fails error U43M1D206. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you for taking the time to help, I appreciate it. I noted the posting in case it helps in future. Unfortunately, didn't help this time. All the other programs update fine - nothing wrong with connection. Photoshop (2014) simply would not apply patch. Also couldn't apply patch manually. Completely uninstalled the program, eventually completely uninstalled every program and Adobe Creative Cloud app altogether. Still didn't help, on reloading Photoshop (2014) still will not patch. In the end I have opted for Photoshop CC (NOT 2014) and it updates fine.

Hello all,
I, too, found this oversight on the part of Lenovo to be quite distressing. It is possible to upgrade the X61 BIOS with a USB thumb drive. I have provided directions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=817897
The above tutorial is aimed towards Ubuntu Linux users. However, I believe that users of Vista should be able to follow along. Please let me know if you have any questions... the process is simple enough that it should be possible with any OS out there right now.
