Dell PFS Update Extractor v5.0
Enter input directory path: C:\Temp
*** 3360A12.exe
Error: This is not a Dell PFS update image!
Done!
@veloprofz Thanks for your feedback!
This was the obviously misleading word. Usually it is used, when the operation has been successful.
Error: This is not a Dell PFS update image!
I haven’t invented this program
We know you didn’t, would you please follow my indications on previous post… i really don’t understand what is wrong here.
Dell PFS is NOT the correct tool.
really is there anyone who can help extract the bios exe file?
I would love to do it myself if I could!
You can. Check Temp\ExtactTemp folder on error 255.

I tried this operation on three different computers and on all the same problem
Full permission files un Folder:
Which part here was difficult to understand? Download the tool, drop the Dell bios file on the exe… And just out of curiousity: What do you plan to do with the contents of the mentioned file?

@Gohar : Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Since you had posted your request into a not matching thread, I have moved it into this one, where you hopefully will find hints about how to extract the bios.exe for your specific Dell PC.
Good luck!

Thank you Mr Fernand, I have dell 9020 and its bios has been bricked and it’s in orange light book loop, I have ch341 programmer and want to program bios chip my self, I copied chip dumps but I am unable to extract programmable file out of dell bios.exe so I am here looking for some expert how can help me out, thanks
@Gohar Dell package doesn’t contain a complete bios image. You’ll have to reuse FD, (GbE), ME. Do a valid(!!) backup of your bricked firmware.
i think i cant put link to external folder as i wanted to share my dump files here…
im so sad i didnt see these replies bc i just got rid of that laptop after keeping it for a year

Since I found more than 1 thread about the topic "How to extract a Dell *.exe BIOS package", I have tried to merge them and to put all topic related contributions into this thread.
This may make it easier for the users to find a solution for their Dell BIOS extraction problem.
