Partition HP_TOOLS after update from HP System Diagnostics (UEFI)?

Hello

I bought a Compaq HP 6730 s about 2 and one and a half years. Last time I installed Windows was in 2009, when I switched to Win7 Pro x 64. I usually keep my system up to date so I decided to use HP Softpaq Download Manager to see what is new because I have not done in a year about. By updating HP System Diagnostics (UEFI) I noticed the installer to begin creating a new partition using DISKPART. It has 2 GB of E:\ and created a new partition HP_TOOLS (H:\).  First of all, was it really necessary given that I had only 3.5 GB of free space on E:\? In addition, the old version of HP System Diagnostics (UEFI) has not used a separate partition. Secondly: is it really necessary to keep or is the only partition something temporary created to facilitate the update process (although this makes no sense to me), meanning can I simply delete and merge into E:\.

Third: in the case where HP_TOOLS is not delete recomanded, at least hide by using the local Group Policy Editor?

Thank you!

The latest version of the installer of HP System Diagnostics (UEFI) gives an option for installation on drive hard or on a USB flash drive according to your needs. I personally recommend not not to delete the partition HP_TOOLS as its useful during the process of updating the BIOS in case if you want to do a restore etc.

HP_TOOLS partition is also useful in F2 (the System Diagnostics) market in the case of any emergency if necessary.

  • Remove HP System Diagnostics UEFI

    I installed HP System Diagnostics UEFI (SP52407) on my Elitebook 8530p running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit.

    I want to uninstall this program if possible it's my failure of System Image backups.

    The new partion created by this program is FAT 32 and Windows 7 will not save, NTFS only.

    When I click on create new system image, it is said that the following drives will be saved:

    (C (System))

    HP_tools (F (System) with no option to remove this.)  And if I chose my own thing same backup.

    While I can uninstall it somehow? (does not appear in the programs) or should I delete just the partion?  Not sure if this will help to either.

    Hello pjamme,

    Your EliteBook is a business model.  Your question would better answer on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum

    Good luck!

  • Many icons appear on my T60 desktop after updates from Lenovo

    I made the updates for the first time to my laptop T60 - some directly from the Lenovo Web site and other tool ThinkVantage (which I've also just updated!).   And it seems that at each update, or some of them, the desktop becomes cluttered with icons.  They seem related to updates.

    And you can only imagine how many updates have been made if I didn't all over the years for the T60.

    Is this correct and safe delete desktop icons?  I don't want to delete actual updates of my system, however.

    But these are really cluttering up the desktop.

    Thank you in advance!

    It is difficult to be sure because this screenshot has been drastically reduced in size, but looks like you have your system set to download everything on your desktop if all updates are on your desktop now. Once installed, you probably don't need them, but before you remove, I would move them to another folder. If one of these files were actually needed and installed in your office, then you would end up with error messages, or that something works do not. If after moving, them and all seems ok, it's probably OK to delete, but do so at your own risk.

  • I can't delete cookies after update from version 9.0.1, also the opening, I have 2 new cookie files that disappear at the close of FF.

    I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, is the same thing. Check my profile, cookies.sqlite is if FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, wal - cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite - shm, as well as of cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason why I can't delete cookies? Also, I and enabled AdBlock Plus and the navigation of private life. After update, I can't post anything in support of FF (this is my 4th attempt, Safari finally used to post) and files under Tools, as clear history are accessible, I shouldn't have a history to remove.

    (1st edition)
    Ok. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things work as they should. I have no cookies listed, except those I want. Private browsing does not work correctly. However, I still have these 2 additional cookie files; -wal-shm.

    (2nd edition)
    I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and cookies from the site are eliminated, only not here, spent. Now I can't connect to anything and am back to Safari to access the Support Forum of FF. Have I not a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop elimination - up that Firefox has; and they don't have the level of customization that Firefox has. 2 additional cookie - wal-shm files, are always there when FF is open and disappeared again the closure of FF. One last thing, I noticed, I have a request of support for Chrome file in my library. The cookie file Chrome could interfere with the FF cookies? I do not think, I have Safari, as well, and no browser has ever interfaced with each other before.

    (3rd edition)
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all my modules and also tried to delete the cookies.sqlite document in the FF profile file, nothing happens. I counted, there are 14 sites listed in preferences > privacy > pane show Cookies (no pun intended) and they are all sites of "ad". These sites are also listed as sites blocked in Adblock Plus. Until a person pick up, I give up, I don't know what else to do. He there was that the only time that cookies were gone pane show Cookies, every other time I have uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone can help me, I'm stuck. The only thing I did is removed altogether-profile file. It's the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my favorites somewhere to return after reinstalling. If this is not corrected in the next few days, I can just try, too.

    I think I solved my problem. I activated the safemode, then activated each Add on, one at a time, reboot FF between each activation. I don't have the add-on TACO. I hope this is the end. Thank you for your response. I appreciate it.

    Little puzzle, this particular post was not the first in which I posted this question. However, it is the only one that I thought was actually posted on the forum. The first two attempts, I thought had not displayed. Today, there are all the posts with the same problem. So, I really thank Mozilla for their patience and all the people who have taken the time to read this and the other two positions. I apologize for the repeated messages. I really didn't know that they had been posted because I couldn't find their afterwords to edit with my attempts to fix this problem.

  • I can't understand why after update of PC systems I have no audio?

    My windows 7 Toshiba PC makes no sound since I did an update of the systems. No idea why after following the troubleshooting tips and apply their suggestions still there is NO sound! Can someone please give me their knowledge and experiences relating to this issue?

    I give up after hours of information guide and tutorial round and round and round, without any positive result. Thank you America!

    Kimberly Ann Petersen Jones greetings,

    There are a few routes you could take.  First of all, you will be able to right click on your volume icon near the clock in the taskbar, then select "Troubleshooting" here to see if it can correct itself. Even if is not, he could help by providing a more specific error message.

    If this isn't the case, another option is to remove the update of the system that caused the problem. I do with the system restore and go back to just the day or the night before the problem started.

  • HP Pavilion G6 - 2221ES: recovery Partition does not work after update from HP.

    I've just updated my laptop using this patch from HP: sp63774.exe

    It was supposed to fix a recovery environment that slows after reclassification of 8.0 to 8.1 Win Win

    Now, I can't get into the recovery Partition.

    It justs gets stuck after the message: "Please wait...". ».  I get the options to restore the system. Just a black screen.

    link to patch   (Section Software-Solutions)

    Help, please.

    Thank you.

    Hi @jose2016,

    Thank you for the update.

    Did you create your recovery media before making the update for Windows 8.1? If you create a recovery USB disk, then a labour recovery partition. Create a recovery USB disk (from support.microsoft.com). You can access the Recovery Manager of Windows? Computers HP - performing a recovery of HP (Windows 8) system. Another link that can help with the Recovery Manager's computers HP-HP System Recovery troubleshooting (Windows 8)

    You can try to do a restore back to before the update has been installed? Computers HP - using Microsoft System Restore (Windows, 10, 8)

    You said that you do not have a recovery partition. If you select disk management, should always data on this subject and he is in good health?

    Were you able to boot in safe mode?

    Have you tried to run the troubleshooter in Windows?

  • Partition missing after restoring from Time Machine

    Hello world

    I use an iMac 27-inch mid-2010 and have a WD1230 external 2 TB disk attached to it. I partitioned the external hard drive to allocate 1 TB as a Time Machine backup repository and the other 1 to to put in music, movies and images files to save space on my system aging 1 TB drive.

    Good thing I put up this way because one day my system comes to refuse to start. I went in the mode utility and used the Time Machine restore feature to help me get back on my feet. After a restoration of 18 hours, the system is now purrs with all files and settings affected. Bravo for the process of Time Machine!

    However, this is the number I noticed during the restoration, formatted system partition on my external drive labeled "STORAGE" which contained my music and movies. I know that the files are there but I need to know how to access these files again as the STORAGE drive is so more appear in the Finder. I did a scan Disk Utility on the hard drive external with no luck either. Can anyone who has gone through this similar situation help out me? Thank you very much in advance!

    Restore using Time Machine to copy a game on the disc that you point to backup. It performs no operations on any drive or partition other than the one to which it is to copy the files. If Time Machine, neither utility restore formatted or partitioned external hard drive (unless it is more what you're saying.)

    It may be possible to recover lost files from this drive using a disk utility such as restore data of Prosoft. As a former tech, it's my go to software. There is no guarantee that it will work. Dril drivel is another recovery program people I know recommend but I never used it.

  • The speaker does not work after update from hp...

    I don't know what was the update. But it's from HP. After that, he asked to reboot the system. Noah speakers do not work...

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you are finished, download and reinstall the Chipset driver at the following link.

    Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1

    One when you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the power adapter, and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery and plug in the AC adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

    Kind regards
