    Microcode update error on bootup

    Hi everyone, I have a Hp Compaq dc5100mt
    its working fine but the BIOS post screen comes up with this error on every start up and you have to press F1 to continue every time; "1801-Microcode update error. Missing or invalid processor microcode update."
    (The processor fitted is not the original one but the system still works fine once you continue on from the post screen)

    I downloaded the microcode update. The problem is that the microcode updater (see the following images) asks for a destination disk to drive A:, But I have no drive A:, "Floppy"

    Can you help ??

    I found this:

    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=es&cc=es&taskId=130&prodSeriesId=342066&prodTypeId=12454&objectID=c00787870

    NOTE Microcode patches can be stored on and run from a USB mass storage devices such as HP Disk On Key or HP Drive Key as described below:
    Double-click the SoftPaq .exe file to begin. This will unpack the necessary files and will then display a Web page with information on applying the patch including the following instructions for using a USB mass storage device.
    DOS Flash (flashbin.exe, patch.opt) is the DOS compatible system BIOS flash utility that can be used from DOS bootable flash media device.
    Patch.opt is the required driver for flashbin.exe.Assign Password (assignpw.exe) can be used with DOS Flash if a Setup Password has been previously set on the target system. To flash the system BIOS Micro Code from a USB flash media device, you will need to copy the contents of the DOS Flash folder to a bootable USB flash media device.
    To see a more complete description of the DOS flash utilities, view Flashbin.txt located in the DOS Flash folder. To view more information on making a DOS bootable flash media device, view DOSFM.txt in the DOS Flash folder. This folder also contains a binary image of the Micro Code. The binary image file is named UXX_MMmm.bin where "UXX" is the abbreviated BIOS family, "MM" is the major version number, and "mm" is the minor version number.
    NOTE Files needed for multiple systems or patches can be stored on the same USB mass storage device. In that case, flashbin.exe will determine the correct patch to apply for the system it is running on.
