The HP USB Key Utility enables you to copy the Smart Update Firmware DVD to a USB flash drive.
For Windows operating systems, the HP USB Key Creator for Windows utility must be downloaded

and installed on a workstation. After installation, the

utility places a shortcut in the HP System Tools folder in the Programs start menu.

Select the HP USB Key Utility shortcut in the HP System Tools folder.

Follow the onscreen instructions. The HP USB Key Creator formats the USB key. Therefore, files on
the key are deleted. Ensure that you are using a USB key that is at least 1 GB in size and does
not contain any valuable files.
