Does anyone know how I can install a BIOS update on a Pavilion 6835 running XP? The only instructions I can find require me to be in true DOS mode and that's not possible (as far as I know) in XP.

Thanks SavvyLady but I have already been to HP site and downloaded the HP update. But the instructions assume you are still in ME or 2000. I have aready upgraded to xp. The instrcutions from HP tell you to boot into DOS etc. and I can't do that in XP. Looking for another solution for everyone who loaded XP before they saw the update for bios.
