Re: Help To extract Dell EXE BIOS
I'm not sure exactly what you want, but I'm guessing that you cannot boot the laptop even into BIOS mode because the BIOS is corrupt.
Which laptop?
Most laptops (actually, most BIOSs) have an emergency recovery mode whereby it is possible to force a BIOS update even if the system cannot boot.
Try this:
Download the required BIOS file; let's call it x.exe
Extract the HDR file from the x.exe with: "x.exe -writehdrfile". This will give a file x.hdr
Copy x.hdr to a formatted diskette, perhaps on a USB-diskette (might even work on a pen drive)
Rename x.hdr according to the list below
Unplug the adapter and remove the battery from the laptop
Hold "END" down on the keyboard while you plugin the Adapter
The battery light should come on red
Release "END" - the laptop power should up
Wait while the diskette is read, this might take some time (you'll hear it)
The laptop should shut down or restart itself
Job done!
