HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there! I do own a very old Elitebook 2570P (about 9 years old). But i boght it used from a company so the original hard drive with the HP_TOOLS partition was removed. My new install is Windows 10 64-bit (runs super fine). Only the browser hotkey (upper right corner) does not work.

 

The thing is, that i wanted to use a custom boot logo for my machine (found out about it when i studies the BIOS posibillities). But i dont know which tool i do have to install to create the neccessary HP-TOOLS partition. All links which were posted in the past (some very recent) lead to a dead end (error) of the HP support page.

Maybe someone of you is able to help me recreate the missing partition to play around a bit more with my 2570p 🙂

 

Someone said he got the image of the original application and dirvers disc. If there is any posibillity to get this too, that would be great!

 

Thanks in advance!

 

 

Some off-topic: I started upgrading the CPU (i7-3820QM) and the heatsink with some additional copper. I am very curious how it will turn out.
