    I am wanting to install more memory and it says I have to update bios first but I dont have a floppy drive how can I do it. Office Depot told me this was the memory I needed 512MB SDRAM PC 133 SODIMM part number A016S6464-PC133.If I just install it it just keeps saying a problem occured how do you want to start. Then it list safemode or last known good configuration. No matter what you select it just keeps restarting.:confused

    HP Omnibook 6100 laptop
    256mb of ram

    Where are you getting the message to update BIOS? Does the new RAM stick work if you take the old one out?
