I will say from experience, that obtaining your UUID from within Windows is not accurate.  The Windows 'GUID' is different than the HP BIOS UUID.   What I see was that the first half (16char) of the string ('-' dont count these) is correct, but the 2nd half (16char) is not.  Some HP laptops allow you to press F1 at boot to display this information.  My toolset can also Display this information correctly.  If you cant boot to USB, make a seperate laptop SATA drive with my tool image, and replace the internal hdd with this.  When your machine boots, iot will bott to this new HDD, loading DOS and allowing you to run my tools.  If your model isnt listed, may as well try my tools.  If it is not suported, it will say so and quit clean.  No fuss, no muss.
