How do I delete HP_Tools partition & turn of beep on my DV7-6153ea?

Hi Everyone,
I recently updated my bios with a HP update and a fourth partion called 'HP_Tools' has appeared on my new DV7-6153ea Windows 7 (sp1) laptop. My question is this... I don't want a fourth partition on my harddrive especially for 99mb. I'd like to completely remove this 99mb and partition - can I do this and how do I go about it?
Also, is there a way to turn the bios beep off when the laptop starts!!! It's so loud and disturbs people when I'm working!
Sincerely, and with many thanks,
Judd

I would personally recommend not to delete HP_TOOLS partition as its helpful during BIOS update process in case if you would like to do a rollback etc. Also HP_TOOLS partition is useful in running F2 (System Diagnostics) in case of any emergencies when required. 
If you are still keen on deleting/removing it , Click start and type  "Disk Management "  without quotes and open Disk Management  window and right click HP_TOOLS partition and click Delete volume. This would also stop bios beep sound on the notebook.
I'm unsure how many times in a day you would restart your notebook where beep sound would annoy others but I'm very positive that you would hear that only once when you power ON the notebook.

  • How To Create the HP_TOOLS partition manually?

    Hello,
         According to HP, you can create the HP_TOOLS partition manually with type FAT32 and make the partition name HP_TOOLS. I installed Windows 8 on my MSata Drive after I upgraded it and for some reason you can't install the HP_TOOLS on those drives it always gives an error. So When you download the HP UEFI Support Environment from the drivers/software from HP, it will install it on the Hard Drive which I use as a backup drive now.
    However, when you restart the computer and hit F2, you do not have the full feature to even run a system check, I have to boot it from a USB instead. How do I fix this problem so I can do a "Custom" install back of the HP Tools and be able to use it without any issues?
    What I have done was create a partition on my msata with 2.01GB like it created on my HDD. I made it Fat32 and named it like it said HP_TOOLS. I then copied over the Folder from the HDD to the MSATA Drive. Still it does not work. Any advise would greatly be appreciated!

  • How to recover deleted "Recovery Partition"

    Ok so I apologize in advance if this story is a bit long, and horrifying (actually it's probably entertaining xD). I purchased the Lenovo y510p gaming laptop on back on July 14th 2014. I got the laptop, and it just didn't work for me. It didn't play the games I wanted it to, it had overheating issues, the keyboard had a really sharp edge making typing uncomfortable as well. After installing Sony Vegas and Avast, and just shifting some of my personal photos/music over, I made a backup of the laptop using the OneKey Recovery software. This backup was made to one of my 500GB external hard drives. So I then decided that I just didn't like the laptop, and it was time to return it. I called Newegg, and got my RMA all ready to go. Because I had lot of my personal files and programs, I decided the fastest way to delete everything would be to use the OneKey Recovery by Lenovo, and do a factory reset. At the time, I didn't think anything of this then simply putting the laptop back to exactly how I got it. I even booted it up after the factory reset, and it looked just like the first day I got it. Fast forward 2 weeks, and my RMA is denied from Newegg:   Your RMA (RMA Number: 60470880) return was received and sent to our Inspections Department for closer examination. 34-313-740 NB LENOVO IDEAPAD Y510P 59406636 RTSystem has been modified/altered original manufacturers operating system has been removed cannot access restore partition, this voids Newegg warranty. Unit cannot be accepted or resold as received.  So I was completely shocked as to how I had managed to delete the recovery partition, I didn't modify the OS in anyway, and I phoned Newegg to check what was going on. They confirmed that the tech people at the returns department could not reset the laptop properly, because the recovery partition had been deleted. So, the laptop is being shipped back to me this week, and my question was what on earth could I do to recover this "deleted recovery partition?"  If the OneKey Recovery still works, I don't see why it woudn't, then I can restore the backup that I made on my external hard drive from Day 1. That should bring back this alleged "recovery partition" that's been causing all hell to break loose lol. If however, I can't access that OneKey Recovery, I believe I'm in a huge pile of trouble. Newegg said that if I can manage to recovery that lost "recovery partition" then they will honor my RMA and refund my money.  At this point in time, I'm trying to salvage my situation, and think and act quickly as Newegg does have a 30day only return policy. I didn't do much with the laptop when I had it other than test a few games, so I honestly have NO IDEA how I could've deleted the recovery partition. But I'm not thinking of that anymore, and thinking ahead as to how I can recovery this deleted "recovery partition." Thanks for reading this horror story, and I really appreciate any responses.   

    Man I am overwhelmed by the amount of thoughtful and informative responses I'm receiving, thanks so much guys. @Rocky- They are shipping the laptop back to me this week, I should have it by Friday. The first thing I'll do is go into Disk management to see if the recovery drives are there. Tbh, I doubt Newegg would purposely rip me off, so I'm expecting the drives to be missing. If they're not however, I'm taking pictures and probably dancing because I'll be so happy haha. If the drives are NOT there, I'll see if I can load up OneKey Recovery, and restore my backup, and go from there. Also yes I'm sure I bought it from Newegg, no third parties. @neok- That's exactly what I was thinking! I did the OneKey Recovery, then packed the laptop up and sent it for shipping. Then I get a RMA denied and I was completely shocked. That made me wonder if you could only do the OneKey Recovery once maybe, but I contacted Lenovo and they gave me a letter, written, saying what the OneKey software does. I then forwarded this email to the supervisor at Newegg, but she told me that the fact of the matter is that the "recovery partition" is not accesible anymore, and they're not honoring my RMA unless I retreive it. They were very adament about this. Also thanks for those links, I did a few Google searches myself and those are generally what I found. The reoccuring theme in those cases seems to be people resizing their partitions. I did not do that, simply played a few games, didn't like the laptop, did a factory reest, and boom. That's all I did. If I'm unable to use OneKey Recovery when I get the laptop back this upcoming Friday, I'll consult with those links. Thanks! @Zoltan- Yeah honestly I want to be furious with Newegg, but then seeing as they're really quite strong on their grounds that I somehow deleted it, I'm trying to think back to what I did. However, I find it hard to believe that I would delete the recovery partition, even accidently, because I only had the laptop for a day, and all I was really doing was transferring my photos/music, and installing a few programs. My desperate last attempt to salvage my money will be calling Lenovo and requesting the recovery media, even if it costs $60 or up. The only problem with this is that they might take a while to ship the disc. I only have until around August 14th before Newegg's 30day return policy kicks in, although I spoke with the Newegg supervisor, and she granted me 1-2 days of grace. I could order the CD right now, before I even get the laptop shipped to me, but that's risky seeing as I might not need it at all, if I can still access the OneKey Recovery. The more I think about it though, if I explain my entire situation to Lenovo, they might send me a free CD which I could then order right now, saving me a few days, and serving as more of a precaution then anything. Thanks so much for the replies guys, last Friday was the most stressful day of my life, this RMA was denied, and then I thought about it all day at work. I think I could've been more aggressive with Newegg, but I have no real legal documentation to show them. I mean yes even if I did delete the recovery partition, which I didn't, but let's suppose I did. Deleting software is still not any means for flat out rejecting an RMA, and refusing to refund $1300. I just wish I had some sort of legal document to refer Newegg over to . 

  • Accidentally deleted HP_TOOLS partition - HP Pavilion g6-1344ea

    As said in subject, accidentally deleted the partition.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi Alex,
    Thanks for the screenshot - everything looks good there and you only have 3 primary partitions so the UEFI installer should be able to create a 4th ( HP_TOOLS ) partition.
    Try this slightly modified method.
    First, download the installer on the following link and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63065.exe
    Next, if you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip.  Please note, if you have a 64bit installation, download and install the .msi 64-bit x64 installer on the link below.

  • How do I delete a partition that was created in Bootcamp?

    I installed XP on my MBP using Bootcamp a while ago, and recently erased all the data on the partitioned drive. I have the second partition doing nothing and would just rather delete it.
    I have been told that I need to use Bootcamp to delete the partition, but everytime I load bootcamp it says:
    The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows.
    I cant even get into bootcamp, what should I do? Do I need to do something in Disk Utility?
    Thanks in advance.
    Chris

    Yeah I find using the Boot Camp utility is much easier. Open Applications and find the Utilities folder and open that. Then find and open the utility called "Boot Camp Assistant". It will walk you through the process of restoring the drive to a single partition -- it's real easy.

  • How do I delete a partition on a hard drive?

    I have a 2012 MacBook Pro with OS X Lion (don't know the version), I installed windows 7 shortly afterwards and primarily used that. I've now sold the laptop but need to delete the windows partition and that's where the problem started. The original Mac partition stopped working, so I deleted the content on the bootcamp partition and reinstalled OSX onto that one, now I am unable to delete the original partition so only half of the 500GB hard drive is available to use. Can anyone tell me how to delete the old partition so I can then just re-install OSX so it's ready for its new owner? I also have two recovery HD partitions. Please help!

    make it easy, kill 2 birds with 1 stone
    reboot holding 3 keys - option, command, r - you should see a spinning globe, if not try again
    open disk utilty, select your HD on the left and erase/reformat as mac journaled
    exit du, choose install OSX
    result - no more windows or other random partitions and a fresh OSX like out of the box

  • How do I delete a partition so that I recover the disk space?

    I partitioned my terabyte hard drive to run Mavericks (as well as Yosemite). I followed the Genius instructions from the local store and used Disk Utility to delete Macintosh HD Mavericks. The Disk Utility message said the partition was deleted but it is still there. Only Mavericks was deleted, not the partition. So I have over 600 GB there empty. How do I make that disk space available to Yosemite?

    MikaelK:
    Are you deleting the photos from the Main library section of iPhoto or from inside an album? If it's from an album you must use the CommandOptionDelete key combination followed by emptying the iPhoto trash.
    If you did delete the photo from the main library then I'm as in the dark as Lori.

  • How do I delete primary partition?

    So yesterday, I decided to try mountain lion by creating a second partition and doing a clean install onto the second partition.  Since I've decided to keep only mountain lion, what would be the best way for me to delete my primary lion partition?
    I've read about using CCC or Superduper, but was wondering if there are any other easier alternatives like deleting the primary partition and keeping the 2nd partition with ML on it.
    Thanks.

    You need CCC. It's very easy to use.
    Boot from your 2nd partition, download and install CCC and then use it to clone the 2nd into the 1st. CCC will also take care of creating the recovery partition on your 1st partition, which is very important (just follow the instructions when prompted).
    Once CCC is done cloning, boot from your 1st and if everything is OK, you may erase the 2nd if you want to.

  • Delete several partitions in physical model

    Hi All,
    I don't know if someone has the same necessity than me, if not maybe is because I don't know how to do something that is already implemented,
    anyway, my question is:
    How can I delete several partitions (400) at the same time from the same table in the physical model?
    I can select the partitions but the contextual menu is not working, I can press delete button into the toolbar but is doing nothing,
    I imported from my data dictionary a schema with several tables that have a lot of partitions and I'm not interested to save these partitions,
    when I try to generate the DDL is generating all of the partitions and I don't want the DDL with thousands of partitions inside,
    the number of tables with partitions is not so high but is not comfortable to go one by one selecting the partitions and deleting the object (400 times in one table),
    I can modify the table to say that is not partitioned and all the partitions will disappear but I then need to modify again the tables and include the fields for the partitions and sub-partitions, not useful,
    another option could be to select during the import if I want to import only one partition of each table
    but I 'm not sure is at the end it's needed just because I think that only deleting the partitions with one operation should be enough, at least for me
    thanks in advance

    Hi David,
    First of all thanks for your quick response and for your help logging the enhancement request,
    I am testing more or less your suggestion but I  am not sure if I understood exactly what you mean,
    1)I imported from data dictionary in a new model and into the options menu on the schema select screen I un-ckecked partitions and triggers,
    I guessed that the import should not get from the data dictionary the information about the partitions but the result is that the tables partitioned (by list in this case) are partitioned by range without fields into the physical model on SDDM,
    2)I select one of the tables modify a NO partitioned option and propagate the option for the rest of the tables
    3) I imported again from data dictionary but this time I included the partitions into the option menu on select schema screen,
    into tabular view on compare models screen I can select all the tables with different partitioned option, also I can change for "list partitions" and select only the partitions that I want to import.
    So I have a solution for my problem, thanks a lot for your suggestion
    The second step I'm not sure is needed or maybe I can avoid the step with some configuration setting in any of the preferences screen,
    if not, I think the options to not include partitions into select schema screen are not so clear, at least for me,
    please, could you confirm me if a way to avoid the second step exists or if I misunderstood this option?
    thanks in advance

  • Cannot delete System partition in Windows 8

    Hi
    When I installed the Windows 8. It creates 2 partition. One is the system partition. And another a primary partition.
    There are numerous times that my Windows 8 crashes very badly!
    Without anything to fall back.
    How do I delete this partition from Command Prompt.
    I try delete partition via diskpart without success!
    On a xp if you use diskpart it shown the partition which you can delete or create.
    On windows 8 the diskpart gui like the one in xp is not available.

    Hi,
    If you delete the partition, Windows 8 won't boot successfully.
    When installing Windows 8, it will let you format the hard drive. Or you can access recovery options, use diskpart from Command Prompt there.

  • How can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone

    how can i delete my icloud account but not the password to turn off the find my phone setting

    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPad and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).
