battery icon disappeared no battery detect, hp has bios update but need a diskeete how can I make a bootable cd to install this driver update on my bios to put back this battery drivers please help
 
There are no battery drivers to make a laptop detect a battery, if the battery is not detected it's 95% a hardware issue with either the battery or the laptop. If it's just the icon that is the issue, you can try to install the HP chipset and power management drivers.

You can buy an external USB floppy drive cheap. To make a bootable CD from a floppy http://www.magiciso.com/FAQ/FAQ0006.htm
