The HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI must be run from a FAT or FAT32 partition
with a partition name of HP_TOOLS or EFI.

- If installed to the HDD and the HP_TOOLS or EFI partition is not present, the
installer will prompt the user to create the partition.
- If installed to a USB drive, the installer will rename the partition on the
USB drive to HP_TOOLS.
- If installed with a custom image, the user can create the HP_TOOLS partition
manually with type FAT32 and name the partition, HP_TOOLS.

CAUTION:
- The HP_TOOLS partition is not protected and can therefore be deleted.
- Backing up the computer using the Windows Complete PC Restore and other backup
software does not back up the HP_TOOLS partition.

WARNING:
HP recommends users not place additional data on the HP_TOOLS or 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 UEFI
functionality.
