[Solved] Extraction of Dell's BIOS Installer named *.EXE

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!

@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.

Hi sorry to bother you guys, as I mention before I have dell 9020 machine which bios is bricked and its showing orange light and restarts again and again not showing any thing, the fact is bios was bricked and I have ch341 programer from which I have copied old program(dumps) from both chips and now I cant find new files and don’t know how to extract them from dell bios.exe from them, so any help regarding this situation will be helpful, I am attaching my dumps file of both chip and my pc tag number in a drive link, Plz help me. Thanks
