And that example was a XPS bios, model from 2017…
What are you trying to achieve here? PSFextractor will work on this bios releases
thank you somuch. i will. check it!
Good morning dears. A pleasure to meet those masterminds.
I am contacting you to solve an issue that I have been working on with perseverance and dedication for a month, and it is a DELL .EXE to .HDR decompression that I managed to edit and add a GPU that I bought.
Can I extract the .HDR file into files “Extracted/Intel/(cpu206A0_plat12_ver00000029_2009-11-02_PRD_D6930586.bin

Yes, I have come very far but how do I add the GPU ID which would be “67df Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X /590]

Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Since your request has not much to do with the thread where you posted it, I have moved it into this already existing thread about Dell BIOSes andd hope, that you will get a reply from a Dell expert.
Unfortunately I cannot help you myself (never had a Dell device).
Good luck!

Thank you so much! Good luck to you too!
n-tech dell bios extractor need this software
thanks for replay i got that software
Which one?
I was wondering if anyone knows how to show me how to enable all the hidden settings on my motherboard bios?
Where is the connection to extracting contents of a Dell BIOS package (The Thread title is “How to extract contents of this Dell BIOS package”
And do you think it’s wise to ask this question without giving any kind of information which motherboard we’re talking about?
Maybe you want to ask this question in “Bios modding requests” together with a little bit more information:
Oh ok il do that
Please forgive me, I am a newbie trying to mod my Dell Optiplex 3090 to enable Resizable Bar, it says no volumes detected, and exe is not in the file types it reads by default. I am not requesting I am trying to do it myself, just need some guidance on how to open it
Wow this is such a blast from the past, haha. Since mid 2019, the way to extract Dell PFS is via BIOSUtilities (i.e. Dell PFS Update Extractor).
The problem with Dells is that there is no, to very little, direct padding space to work with under the driver Volume (assuming it’s not locked - colored bios regions are a killer).
There’s plenty of space for ME firmware and microcode upgrades, but very little for all other bios drivers. Adding a new feature seems impossible.
If that computer has a mobo blue pin service mode, you’ll want to move the physical pin into service mode, and backup the full bios. Once in service mode, use the applicable ME CSME System Tools. Go into Flash Programming Tool, and admin open up WIN64 and run FPTW64.exe -d backup.bin. If you’re runing the right ME CSME System Tools and you’re blue pin in service mode, you should be able to backup your full bios.
Then you can mess around. Doing this is above my current skill-set. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but adding this option (if not hidden) is a tall order.
@AyieD , if you haven’t already done so, check out Kuri0’s topic, and then her github page.
Her ReBarDxe.ffs seems to be small enough to add, but I would think that you’d have to reduce the underlying Volume free space size by the size of the addition to make room for it. People with Dells have made it work, so it may be more do-able than I thought.
It’s not (present, but) hidden, so it would have to be added.
If you go for it and it works, let us know. Good luck, but don’t push it if you’re not comfortable.

Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Since you were not the first Forum member, who had problems to get Dell’s BIOS installer named *.exe extracted, I have merged your post and the replies with this already existing old thread about the same topic and gave it a short, but hopefully meaningful name.
@lfb6 @plutomaniac @ChrisM
Just for your information

Regarding biosutilities: I see you changed the structure and made it a python project.
Earlier I was able to ‘compile’ these programs with pyinstaller to a single exe- file. Last time I did this was 28.04.24 and it worked fine. Now I’m no longer able to create working exe- files. Python installation of biosutilities works- I can use the commands specified for singel toole or just throw a file on main.py. I still can compile MCE,
When running pyinstaller I get a exe with around normal size which opens an empty command window which closes after a second without any output. There’s no warning or error in the command window, in the build folder theres a warning about missing modules- but those seem to be Linux related?
My python knownledge is close to zero unfortunately. Do you have a hint how to be able to have these tools running as exe in Windows environment without python installed? I
Same here…
EDIT: I have both Python’s installed, latest 3.x and last build of the 2.x
