Hello,

 

     According to HP, you can create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with type FAT32 and make the partition name HP_TOOLS. I installed Windows 8 on my MSata Drive after I upgraded it and for some reason you can't install the HP_TOOLS on those drives it always gives an error. So When you download the HP UEFI Support Environment from the drivers/software from HP, it will install it on the Hard Drive which I use as a backup drive now.

 

However, when you restart the computer and hit F2, you do not have the full feature to even run a system check, I have to boot it from a USB instead. How do I fix this problem so I can do a "Custom" install back of the HP Tools and be able to use it without any issues?

 

What I have done was create a partition on my msata with 2.01GB like it created on my HDD. I made it Fat32 and named it like it said HP_TOOLS. I then copied over the Folder from the HDD to the MSATA Drive. Still it does not work. Any advise would greatly be appreciated!
