ENHANCEMENTS: |
- Improves security handling of BIOS password files. - Improves installer. - Adds support for new systems. |
PREREQUISITES: |
- Microsoft .NET 2.0 is required. 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 UEFI 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 UEFI partition. For these reasons, HP recommends that you do not place additional data on the UEFI 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.
