Hey justinkw1,

First off, thanks for all of your work on compiling current drivers and software!

I was wondering if you could post a download link for HP Recovery Manager.

I'm hoping to do a clean format of my Envy 14 soon but would like to keep the RECOVERY and HP_TOOLS partitions in tact in an effort to maintain their functionality until I actually need the space at which time I will delete them.

I will try to get the Recovery Manager up when I can.

• Added HP Support Assistant.
• Added HP System Diagnostics (UEFI).

Please let me know if there are further questions.

thank you for your work. But the UEFI could not be used on my laptop. Mine is dv3-2123tx. However, there're still some applications from HP that here not list like HP power manager, HP advisor, ect.

I'm currently having trouble pinpointing which notebooks and netbooks have UEFI and which ones don't. Thanks for mentioning this and I'll make sure to remove the dv3 from the supported models.

As you noted, not all of the HP applications are listed on the first post. I'm just trying to list the ones that I think are popular for users who are interested. HP Advisor is definitely one, and I'll eventually add it to the first post.

Great work with this thread. +rep.

The Santa Rosa series of business notebooks (2210s, 2510p, 2710p, 6510b, 6710b, 6910p, 8510p/w, 8710p/w) do not have UEFI. It was the series after, the Elitebooks, that incorporate a HP modified Insyde BIOS with UEFI support.

[justinkw1]

Almost there! (what's left is Software Framework and hopefully Recovery Manager)

I know HP BIOS Update (UEFI) isn't extremely useful based on what I've seen...feel free to point out otherwise.

• Added HP BIOS Update (UEFI).

Your work is greatly appreciated justinkw1!!!

I bought my notebook secondhand with windows 7 pre-installed and it came without the recovery manager. I thought I was just going to have to go without it until I saw this thread... I will be definitely be checking back for it soon, looking forward to it.
