The Boot Device Options, F9, is known for BIOS boot resources for UEFI including Windows Boot Manager, Network Card. And it also includes Legacy Boot Source like DVD, hard drive, CD, and USB flash drive.
On this page, we introduced what the HP boot menu is and how to access the HP boot menu effectively. According to the HP boot menu keys, you can check device information, run a hardware diagnostic, change boot order, run HP from USB, and even run HP from a Network drive.

Locate the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive (this might be called Removable Device) in the Boot list. Following the directions on the screen, use the arrow keys to move the drive up so that it appears first in the Boot list. Press Enter. The boot order sequence is now changed to boot from the CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
When it comes to choosing HP USB format tool for Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit, most users would select HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. It is a Windows-based format utility. It can format any USB Flash drive in FAT, FAT32, or NTFS file systems. Below is the instruction:
Step 1. Connect the flash drive you want to format to a Windows PC and make sure it can be detected successfully. Download HP USB Disk Storage Format utility from the website to your computer.
You must have the built-in Diskpart.exe and Bootcfg.exe utilities to create bootable mirror volumes on GPT disks. You can do some of these steps with the Disk Management console, but others you can do only with the built-in Diskpart.exe utility.
Before you set up boot volume mirroring, it is a good idea have another GPT disk in the computer that contains an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) partition. The EFI partition contains the system files used to boot the operating system. If the primary system drive (disk-0) fails, you can use the EFI partition on the shadow drive (disk-1) to boot. This step creates and prepares new EFI and Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partitions on the shadow drive. You can use only the Diskpart.exe utility to create the required EFI and MSR partitions. You cannot use the Disk Management console to create or mirror EFI or MSR partitions.
Before you start, make sure that you have another BASIC disk with all unallocated free space of equal or greater capacity than the primary disks system and boot partitions. If you already converted the spare drive to dynamic, revert it back to basic before you follow these steps.
Open a new command prompt, and then use the format utility to format the EFI partition (S:) with the FAT file system. You must do this so that you can copy the system files from the primary EFI partition to this new EFI partition. Do not format with NTFS. The system cannot boot from an EFI partition unless it is formatted with the FAT file system.
Press ALT+TAB again to return to the other command prompt. Use the xcopy command to copy the system files from the primary EFI partition (P:) to the Shadow EFI partition (S:). You must do this to make sure that the shadow drive can boot the system if disk-0 fails. Make sure that you use the correct drive letters if you used different letters for your EFI partitions.
Before you can establish a mirror, both the primary (source) drive (Disk-0) and the shadow (destination) drive (Disk-1) must be converted to Dynamic. After the disks are Dynamic (after a reboot), you can then establish the mirror. You can do this step with either the Disk Management console or the Diskpart.exe utility.
After both the primary (disk-0) and shadow (disk-1) drives are dynamic, you can then establish the mirror of the boot volume to the shadow drive. You can do this step with either the Disk management console or the Diskpart.exe utility.
Now that you have successfully established the boot mirror, a new boot entry was automatically added to NVRAM so that you can boot to the shadow drive. This new entry is displayed as Boot Mirror C: - secondary plex on the boot menu. If you select it, it will boot into the operating system on the shadow drive. However, if something were to happen to any of the system files or the EFI partition itself on disk-0 or if disk-0 failed completely, you would have to boot from the EFI partition on disk-1. Before this will work, you have to add boot entries into NVRAM with the Bootcfg.exe utility.
At a command prompt, run the Bootcfg.exe utility to display the current boot entries. You have one boot entry for the main operating system (boot entry id:1), and one boot entry for the Mirror (shadow) drive (boot entry id:5).
Before you can add the new entries for the EFI partition and boot partition on the shadow drive to NVRAM, you have to list the existing partitions on disk-0 so that you can extract partition GUID information about the current EFI partition. Use the bootcfg /list command against disk-0 to display all the partitions:
Now you have the SOURCE and TARGET EFI GUID values that you have to clone the boot entries in NVRAM. The new entries use the new EFI partition GUID on the shadow drive to boot the system if disk-0 fails in any way. Use the bootcfg /clone command to add new NVRAM boot entries with your source and target GUID values recorded in steps 2 and 3.
To see the new Cloned entries added to NVRAM, use the bootcfg command and notice you now have seven entries instead of five. The bottom two entries are the cloned entries and will use the EFI partition on the shadow drive (disk-1) to boot.
You must now use the following procedure to recover the original operating system (shadow) drive. These following steps show you the whole process. The process includes replacing the failed disk-0, re-installing Windows on the new replacement disk, which creates a new EFI system partition, and then adding new boot entries into NVRAM so that you can boot back into the original operating system on the shadow disk-1.
Shut down the computer, and then restart it. Select the boot menu item Original Shadow Drive to boot into the original operating system. This brings the server back into production. To fix the mirroring so that you can use the new disk-0 as your primary operating system drive and again be in a fault tolerant environment, continue with the following steps.
While booted into the shadow drive (disk-1), you must "remove" the broken mirror, and then delete the missing disk. You can do this with either the Disk Management console or the Diskpart.exe utility.
Old version of the Windows USB/DVD download tool formatted USB drive in the NTFS file system when burning Windows 7 image. A computer with UEFI architecture cannot boot from that media in native mode. Therefore, this tools is not suitable for creating an installation flash drive with Windows 7.
You can create a bootable UEFI flash drive with the Windows install image manually. The procedure described below is suitable for advanced users, is performed from the command line and allows you to fully control (and understand) all the steps in the process of creating a bootable USB flash drive.
After the described procedures, you have a bootable USB flash drive to install Windows on a UEFI computer in the native mode. More detailed procedure of Windows installation on computer with UEFI interface will be considered in one of the next article.
Hicould you please put more details Go to f:\efi\microsoft\boot on the USB flash drive and Copy its contents to a higher level (to the F:\efi\boot directory). There is not such directory efi\boot. Should I create this? My structure is like that F: \boot\efi\source\support\upgrade etc.Thank you.
Hi,thanks! I am able to make USB bootable in UEFI mode but once setup of windows 7 starts copying files thenI get error that a file is missing \windows\system32\boot\winload.efi anyone faced this ? Please help to resolve this.
USB boot starts and windows setup starts copying files then this error appears. Windows iso seems fine as I used a CD setup to install windows to another machine. From same setup I created ISO file using imgburn software. Please advice further. Thanks
Good evening! My name is george. I have a vision problem and I want your children to help you as much as possible. I use a voice reader in Windows 10 but the voice reader is not compatible with the specific operating system. I try to get back through the bios uefi to legacy so I can install Windows 7. When I start installing it does Windows loading file. Then he asks me the language and when I click on install now he displays the following message: It says there is a missing cd dvd driver installed via a USB stick. Settings within the bios are done correctly. Also bios has been upgraded to its latest version and the security boot is disabled. The computer has been purchased 3 days ago and unfortunately I can not use it. Its processor is the eighth generation Intel i7. And the computer model is the following: hp probook 450 g6 Thanks in advance for your answers!
