164697 2003-08-02 09:13:00 Have a look at this (h20015.www2.hp.com OSQ?reg=&cc=us&prodId=hppavilion42764&lc=en&softitem=Microsoft%20Windows%20ME&sw_lang=en&pagetype=software) page for updates for your model PC.
The bios update says
Step 1: Do you need to update?

Release Date: 2001-10-10 Version: 3.05

Why do I need it?
This BIOS update provides the minimum BIOS requirements to run Windows(r) XP on your HP Pavilion computer.

Hope this helps
Cheers Steve
