Ik heb 2 nieuwe computers van HP. Een desktop en een laptop, beiden hebben een recovery partitie (de D: schijf), en beiden hebben op de C: schijf een map met de naam SwSetup. Daarin zitten drivers, install files van het antivirus, HP recovery software etc
Op de desktop is deze map 377MB. Geen probleem, maar op de laptop is deze map maar liefst 5 GB. 5GB die ik toch wel voor beter zaken kan gebruiken. Zou ik deze map verwijderen? Ik heb in principe nog altijd de recovery schijf (D). Nu vraag ik me wel af wat daar exact opstaat? Zou daar een Image van de HD opstaan nadat met alle software, drivers, etc heeft installed?

Mss dat iemand het hier weet! En mij antwoord kan geven of ik deze map zou wissen of niet.
Alvast bedankt!

Location of Drivers and Software Applications on the Hard Drive
Most of the hardware-enabling device drivers and HP value added software that were preinstalled on your HP computer are also available on the system hard drive in their uninstalled form. This software is left on the hard drive for use by Information Technology professionals in the creation of standard software images in a corporate environment. Any very large applications that are delivered on a separate optical media, e.g. Microsoft Office, may not be left on the hard drive in their uninstalled form because of the hard drive space that would be required. These types of applications can be reinstalled from the corresponding optical media.
Visit www.hp.com/support to check for updates for software included with the computer.
Any software that is left, uninstalled, on the hard drive will be located in the 'C:\SWSETUP' directory. There will be many additional subdirectories under the 'C:\SWSETUP' directory. These subdirectories will usually have descriptive names that will help in identifying the software that is located under that subdirectory. Here are some examples:
C:\SWSETUP\Backgrounds contains HP desktop wallpaper
C:\SWSETUP\Drivers\Audio_Realtek contains audio drivers
C:\SWSETUP\Drivers\Chipset contains chipset INF files
C:\SWSETUP\Drivers\Graphics_Intel contains graphics drivers
C:\SWSETUP\FLC contains commands that are run each time a new user logons on
C:\SWSETUP\HPBackup contains the HP Backup and Recovery Manager software
C:\SWSETUP\SunJava contains the Java Runtime Environment software
C:\SWSETUP\Safety_Comfort_Guide contains HP Safety & Comfort Guide
C:\SWSETUP\Security contains the HP ProtectTools and other HP-specific security software
C:\SWSETUP\SW_VER contains a CVA file for each software component that was preinstalled in the factory
NOTE: These are just examples and the software available under C:\SWSETUP will vary from computer to computer.
PNPUTIL.EXE is new with Vista and allows driver packages to be added to the "driver store".
For more information about PNPUTIL.EXE, execute "PNPUTIL /?".
In the factory, all driver packages under C:\SWSETUP\DRIVERS are added to the "driver store".
