Product: HP EliteBook 8730w Mobile Workstation (ENERGY STAR)
Hi all,i have an hp elitebook 8730w,the hard disk has been replaced with a new ssd,i have used the sw to install the hp tools partition and converted to gpt,windows says it cant install to the drive as its a gpt partition style!,the uefi is enabled in the bios,Looking at the partitions in disk management did show the hp tools partition on the far right,would it not being on the far left cause this,Do i need to change anything in/too the hp tools partition to make it possible to work+ boot and be able to install windows without the cant install to a gpt disk etc? , Regards Paul.
