UEFI and custom imaging
-------------------------------
HP BIOS Update must be run from a FAT or
FAT32 partition with a volume name of "HP_TOOLS".
This installer will give you the option to install
to the HDD or a USB drive.  If you install to the 
HDD and the HP_TOOLS partition is not present, the
installer will prompt you to create the HP_TOOLS 
partition.  If you install to a USB drive, the 
installer will rename the partition on the USB drive
to HP_TOOLS.  If you use a custom image, you can 
create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with type 
FAT32 and make the volume name HP_TOOLS.

Caution
- The HP_TOOLS partition is not protected and can therefore be deleted.
- Backing up the computer using the Windows® Vista® Complete PC Backup does not back up the HP_TOOLS partition.

For these reasons, HP recommends that you do not place additional data on the HP_TOOLS partition. Because the partition is not backed up, corruption or failure of the partition will result in loss of all data on the partition, plus loss of UEFI functionality.
