HP EFI applications and preboot applications provide extensive preboot functions

to the system BIOS residing in the flash rom. These HP preboot applications are

placed on a HP specific partition. On 2008 and later commercial notebook

platforms with EFI BIOS, the preboot partition HP_TOOLS is created by the

preinstall team as a Fat32 partition.

Warning

Do not encrypt HP_TOOLS partition using software encryption programs such as

Windows BitLocker or Full Volume Encryption for HP ProtectTools. When the

partition is encrypted, HP preboot applications cannot function.

Volume Name

HP_TOOLS

Note: QuickWeb is a Linux based application and Linux directory is case sensitive.

(So is NTFS. Fat32 is not). When Volume name and Hewlett‐Packard directory is

created, please make sure that it's all capitalized.

The total partition size is 2 GB.

The HP_TOOLS partition structure should mirror what we already have for NTFS

file system. And the EFI application and preboot application installation should

follow the rules for other HP software.

For those preboot deliverables that are web released, they need to be installed

using Softpaq.

When a Softpaq is run, it will extract into the C:\swsetup directory just as other

Softpaqs. Then the preboot software installation should search for the Fat 32

partition with the "HP_TOOLS" label and install itself under the directory:

:\HEWLETT‐PACKARD\softwarename

e.g. Quicklook.efi and its digital signature should be placed under

:\HEWLETT‐PACKARD\QUICKLOOK\quicklook.efi
