PREREQUISITES:
EFI and Custom Imaging
----------------------
If you use your own custom image and want to maintain EFI partition
functionality, you must create a FAT32 partition named HP_TOOLS. Failure to do
so results in loss of features. The volume name should be “HP_TOOLS”.
CAUTION:
- The EFI partition is not protected and can therefore be deleted.
- Backing up the computer using the Microsoft Windows Vista Complete PC Backup
does not back up the EFI partition.
For these reasons, HP recommends that you do not place additional data on the
EFI 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 EFI
functionality.
If the EFI application installation does not find a partition named HP_TOOLS,
the installation fails and an error message is displayed.
