Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

That error message is correct -- in that, with an MBR formatted drive, the maximum number of root-level partitions you can have is four. And, that can not be changed.

But ... you can certainly copy the contents of the former HP_TOOLS partition into a folder of the same name on an existing partition. That will give you access to those tools.

Good Luck
