I bought some extra RAM for my machine (it has 4GB of RAM now). However, the computer would not recognize the extra RAM. So, off I went to my motherboard manufacturer’s site and looked up possible BIOS updates.
And then, the question is…how do you update your bios without a floppy disk. I did not have cd-rw’s at hand, so I had to get it working with a usb flash drive.
After lot of research, I found a
- HP Drive Key Booting Utility
- A bootable cdrom image from bootdisk.com
Installed the utility, and picked the bootable image (.img format). And I was off to the races….
I wish I had run into this page earlier.

You can make computer recognize 4+ GB Ram if you use a 64biit OS, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
