Working solution:
- Unplug power adapter
- Remove CMOS battery and laptop battery for 1 day
- plug in CMOS battery
- Insert 2GB RAM (I am using Samsung RAM)
- Extract .fd file from HP BIOS file
- Rename .fd to .BIN, only reserve the front 4 character in the name. Eg: 5152ex.fd will rename to 5152.BIN
- Format 1GB pendrive (I use Kingston DT) using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
- Put the .BIN file to the pendrive
- insert the pendrive to the left USB port

if the errors are related to macfuse or osxfuse, follow the following instruction:

1. Open terminal

Open the Terminal application (or, I much prefer iTerm) and type the following:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

and after hitting return, follow it up with

killall Finder

which restarts the Finder and shows all files.
