OK, I have a solution. In my case it was a G62-228 CA laptop, that failed to boot after a BIOS update. When I powered up, the fan would come on for a few seconds, the screen would display the HP logo, and show ” Press ESC to enter BIOS setup ” and then shutdown, no matter what key I pressed (ESC, F8 , F10). I called HP service and of course it was out of warranty, and after no luck over the phone, they suggested that I return it for repair for $380. After several hours of internet searching, I found that pressing Win+B gets it to boot from a CD or a USB key, and restore the BIOS. When I pressed Win+B and then powered up, the laptop stayed on, and said “recovering BIOS” and then “Writing BIOS” and “Verifying BIOS” After this it shutdown again, BUT the next power up it came on for longer and said “BIOS recovered successfully” and SOMETIMES (about 1 in 4 times or so) booted into Windows. The SOLUTION is, after getting it into Windows somehow (through this tortuous process of recovering the BIOS, which I think reloads the corrupted BIOS and doesn’t fix the problem) you have to run the sp52598.exe file which you can download from the HP website. This file is an executable, which loads the “Insyde” utility and allows you to load the new BIOS. After I had done this, the laptop worked fine.

Oh and about the partition size. 6.22 can accomodate up to a 2 gig partition. I don’t know why it only set up at 500 meg on yours unless it has something to do with how you got it installed on a USB stick. You would have had to do a non-traditional install to get it on a USB drive. But yes, you can use the remaining space by partitioning it as separate drives–assuming there’s not a problem with it being on a USB stick.

In addition to the info there….
For some desktop mboards you can have problems when an external hard drive is plugged into one of a pair of USB ports on the back of the case that are connected to the same USB controller, if there is another device plugged into the other USB port for the pair, because the pair can’t actually supply 500 ma per port – they can only supply 500 ma in total. Usually those pairs of ports are one above the other, not beside each other. If you have two devices plugged into such a pair of ports, try plugging one of them in elsewhere on the back of the computer.
For MANY laptop and netbook mboards similar applies. The built in USB ports often cannot actually supply 500ma per port – they supply 500 ma in total for two ports that are close to each other. In that case, the external drive should work fine if it’s the ony thing plugged into the USB ports built into the laptop or netbook, or if you have more than two ports, the only thing plugged into two ports close to each other. ……….
