In depth
A closer look at HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI
HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI is a package that was designed to help users validate their HP PC functionality by providing them with a series of relevant utilities. However, this toolkit only works for a certain range of HP products and operating systems.This package offers users UEFI based hardware diagnostics modules for the models included in the supported list. Also, it is possible that users can perform firmware updates for various devices on the system, as well as manage or update the BIOS directly through the package.HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI needs to be launched from either a FAT or a FAT32 partition that is named “HP_TOOLS”. As an alternative, users can install and run it from a USB flash drive, which the installer automatically renames to “HP_TOOLS”. If the required partition is not found on your system, during the setup process users are prompted to create it directly from the installer.However, caution is advised when handling the partition, since it is not protected and might be quickly deleted. More so, trying to back up might not yield the expected feedback every time. Therefore, it is recommended not to store additional data on the “HP_TOOLS” partition, since it can be rendered inaccessible or unusable.
