system. You can find drivers in these locations:
On your notebooks hard drive under C:\hp\drivers.
On the Recovery CDs under \hp\drivers.
On the HP Business Support web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport). This web site contains the
latest updates of software drivers for different operating systems.

You can also use the same process to create a larger Utility partition on your hard disk, or to create a
Utility partition on a new hard disk. The hidden Utility partition contains the e-Diagtools diagnostic
tests and stores hibernation data for operating systems that dont provide hibernation.
