System Volume Information/ Hewlett-Packard/ Partition (hd0,msdos1): Filesystem type fat - Label `HP_TOOLS`. Take a look around: grub> ls (hd0,msdos1) You should now see the partition of hd0: grub> ls Load the DOS partition module: grub> insmod part_msdos If so just try again, and if that never works, try different ways of booting (warm boot, booting using the devices list, etc.) To help with this I use a USB stick with a light that is on when it is powered so I know immediately if it is off and I'm going to need to try booting again. If nothing at all shows up for the USB stick: I don't know if this applies to the HP machine in question, but I find on UEFI laptops in general that UEFI does not consistently enable USB at startup so GRUB will fail to even see a USB stick on some boots without explanation. Substitute your USB stick device for hd0 below. depending how you have your system set up, but the main thing is that I can see a separate hd for the USB stick, (hd0) in this case, with no partition of its own - the partition won't be visible yet if the USB stick is only MBR partitioned and the module for reading MBR partition tables ( part_msdos) is not loaded. You may see LVM volumes, more partitions, less partitions, etc. Double check that you can see an extra hd device for the USB stick: grub> ls Plug in the USB stick and boot to GRUB and go to the GRUB shell (usually c for command line). (This has not been tested on the HP model in question, so I don't know if this HpBiosUpdate.efi is even usable in this case, but it might be worth a shot.)
