• The USB drive must have FAT32 format.

• Select a USB flash drive and click Next. Upon completion, you see that the recovery flash drive was created successfully.

• Click Finish to close the wizard.

The files can also be manually copied to the EFI partition of the hard drive to support emergency recovery. For 2018 and

later the HpFirmwareUpdRec utility extracts the correct binaries from the .bin and .inf files and saves the individual

components on the USB key in the HP\DEVFW folder, which can be copied into \EFI on the hard drive. For earlier platforms

the BIOS binary file only is used, saved in the HP\BIOS\Current folder.

NOTE: To recover a device with the flash drive, connect AC power and follow the previous on-screen instructions.

10.4 HpFirmwareUpdRec Log File

By default, a log file is created in the same folder with the executable file.

• If the –I command line option is used, the log file will be written to the supplied file path. If it is a relative path, it will be

placed under that path.
