gotten those files off because I couldn't have transferred to drive to another computer. It's actually soldered on to the drive. I don't even know what I would have done. Maybe you could potentially send it to a data recovery specialist that could have put the chip on to their own motherboard. Who knows. So in the end of this sort of ended up being a worst-case scenario example. I was not able to figure out how to recover the BIOS. It's just a dead computer now, and if I needed those files off it, well, there's not really any way for me to get it easily. I have no idea why the BIOS Recovery did not work. Maybe if I had run it within Windows it actually would have written the backup copy to the EFI partition that it could have used, but I don't know, it seems like it was running the recovery program it just with crashing or something while it was happening. So it might not even worked in that case. I guess if this wasn't just a demo my only recourse would have been to literally send in the computer to HP to have him try and reflash the BIOS and fix it, or even just try to do it myself but not exactly the ideal situation. And this just goes to show why you do need to be very careful when updating the BIOS. Before you do it be very sure you look up all the potential backup methods you have if you do need to do some kind of recovery a rescue of the BIOS. This may be, again, a backup dual BIOS or something, or the best bet would probably be if your motherboard has both a dual BIOS and another recovery option just in case. But hopefully in any case, you'll now be much more familiar with updating the BIOS the next time you find you may have to. Let me know down the comments if you might have any stories from updating the BIOS. Maybe you had one that got corrupted and went completely wrong or maybe you're like me but you've never actually had any issues when updating the BIOS except this one right here that I demo'd. Also if you like this video be sure to subscribe I make new videos every week so it should be worth it. If you guys wanna keep watching, the next video I'd recommend is one where I was talking about OLED displays, and specifically what does the 'Organic' in 'Organic' LED actually mean. I wanted some super detailed science should be very interesting. If you've ever wondered about screen displays and stuff like that. So definitely check that out with the link right there. Thanks so much for watching guys. I'll see you in the next video.
