Im not really sure exactly what i did for it to install there. I was checking out the HP update utility, which showed a bios update and a graphics update. i clicked for the bios update which took me to download a separate bios updater program, which i let go to downloads. I ran the program from that folder. I got a box to choose a location for sp69897

wasn't sure if i could rerun the updater, or if there was a way to properly move them to a more appropriate place, or what to do. Can i just make a folder in c: or someplace and drop them there?
