How to backup original bios?

hello guys, this might sound silly, but, i really have no clue.
i got msi neo2-s bios (v1.0), and now, after the new beta bios release for msi neo2-s (v1.52), i want to flash it. but, before i do it, i want to backup my original bios, so, how can i backup my original bios?
thanks for the help guys!!!

thank u Tom.
but, is there anybody else that can help me to tell how to backup my old bios, if i want to use the dos to flash my bios?
i read in the readme that come with the bios, saying,
"10.Execute the flash utility with the ROM file as a command line argument, with this example:
awfl814b w6373nms.220
If you wish to save the current bios you must specify the full path a:\filename. Specifying only a file name will save the bios to the RAMDRIVE which will be wiped after restarting the computer and the file will not be saved.
a:\bios.old is an example of the correct way to save the bios."
i think, wat he means is to backup the old bios, but still, i don't really get it. wat should i do if i wish to save the current bios? is it only copy?

  • Need Original BIOS for 5900Ultra

    I have an MSI NBOX nVidia GeForce FX5900 Ultra. I messed up the BIOS, and need a copy of the Original cuz i accidentally deleted the backup I made. The ony 5900U BIOS files I have found online or some Starforce version. I know that's not what I had before. Anybody know where I can get a copy of the original BIOS for my VGA card? Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Later!

    Hey, thanks for the BIOS file. It flashed fine, but now I realized you have a different card then me. Here is a picture of my card:
    http://www.gamers-depot.com/hardware/video_cards/msi/5900u/shot1.htm
    I don't think thats what you have cuz the BIOS still refers to the card as a Starforce, whatever the hell that is. Either way, thx for your help. Hopefully someone else can do the same if they have my same card. So, if anyone has this video card (MSI NBOX FX5900U 256MB), plz send me a copy of ur BIOS. Thx in advance, later!

  • How to backup macbook in recovery mode?

    My laptop is crashed. I've no backup. I can open it on recovey mode but cannot access to any of my data. I can see disk utility but i donot understand how to backup files from there. Before i format my laptop i need to backup few importnant files. Is there any way to backup files? I've external hard drive but no time capsule.

    This is what I woud try.  Swap in a new HDD into your MBP and see if you can install an OS via COMMAND R (or if your MBP came with installation disks, use those).  If successful, attach the original HDD to the MBP via USB and see if you can access your user data.

  • How to backup the mails in mountain lion

    Hello i am looking for help, can anyone tell me step by step how to backup and restore mail folders in mail in macbook

    You can use Time Machine as your back up solution and/or any 3rd party back up software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. Or, if your Mail folder is not very large you could copy it to a USB thumb drive.
    Your user Mail folder resides in the user Library (~/Library). There are a couple of ways to get to it since it is hidden.
    1. Open Terminal and type chflags nohidden ~/Library    <--- This will unhide the user Library folder and you will see it under your user name within Finder.
    2. Open Finder then press/hold the Option key while you click on Go / Go to Folder. You will see the Library folder under the Home folder in your list of selections. Select Library. Once Library shows up in the Finder window, you can click and drag its icon, in the Title portion of the Finder window, and place it in the Finder Sidebar.
    Once the user Library is available to view, you can copy your Mail folder to a USB thumb drive for back up and restore from the USB thumb drive. If you decide to use Time Machine or a 3rd party software then you can do one of the following to restore the Mail folder depending on the software used.
    1. If Time Machine was used, make sure you have a Finder window opened to your user Library. Enter Time Machine and navigate to the date you want to restore from. You can choose to restore it to its original location or a different location.
    2. If you use a 3rd party software then you would can open Finder / Go / Go to Folder and type in the path to your user Library on the backup. For example /Volumes/MBP CCC Backup/Users/<username>/Library. Copy the Mail folder to where ever you want.
    Hope this helps.

  • Rescue and Recovery -- How to Backup the Partition

    Hi there, folks.
    I'm trying to create a backup of the default factory image on a partition of my harddrive. I originally ran Windows 7 64 bit Professional. I tried out Windows 8 and just this past weekend returned to Windows 7 with a friend's copy of it. However, Rescue and Recovery doesn't seem to recognize that the partition contains the backup image.
    Mainly, I'm confused because the current version of ThinkVantage and R&R is completely different than the software that, just a month ago, was constantly reminding me of the partition and that it needed to be restored. Any help?
    Does anyone know how to backup JUST a partition? Thank you!

    One work-around that I have used successfully when I had an Acronis image but no R&R image is to do a full restore to factory using the factory recovery media (from Lenovo or home made on the TP) and then restoring only the windows partition from the non-Lenovo image.  This should leave the service partition, the MBR, and track 0 in the Lenovo mystery mode, and let the think button work, and you get your cloned up-to-date OS.
    I should add that in one of my experiments w/multi-booting and fiddling partitions, after using this procedure with Vista on my T400, vista wouldn't boot. It required a bootable vista DVD to run the vista boot repair procedure (twice).  After that, "think" and vista booted as expected.  I don't know of any way to do that with Lenovo install media.  If no MS Vista DVD is available, there are stripped down versions with the repair stuff only floating around the web.  The usual precautions re downloads apply.  There may be manual ways to repair the vista boot stuff that I haven't found yet.
    I can't say with certainty that this will always be necessary.  I may have screwed something up during the two step restore process.
    The magic "think" button is (potentially) pretty useful, but it and the "new improved" vista boot process are a little too fragile, IMNSHO.

  • IPhoto09: How to backup all the structures ?

    Hi there,
    I think my harddisk is failing soon. I need to do some backups.
    Can I know where can I find the folders currently that stores all the tree structures/subfolders/events in the iPhoto09 ?
    I went to Macintosh > users > pictures & it only have jpeg files that I used for the screensaver.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    By default - i.e. unless you moved it - your Library is stored in your Pictures Foolder.
    If it's been moved:
    Select any pic in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window will open with the file selected. In column view it's easy to track back to the location of the Library.
    Regards
    TD
    Thanks TD,
    I did the "Show File" as suggested by you.
    But apparently when you did show file, there are in:
    Macintosh > Users > Pictures > iPhoto Library > Originals > .... etc where etc are all the events and subfolders.
    But the problem is iPhoto Library is not a folder when you go via the Finder mode. When I clicked on the iPhoto Library, it opens up iPhoto & I cannot see the structure.
    When I go via the "Show File" mode, there are folders shown after the iPhoto Library icon.
    Any ideas how to backup my iPhoto ?
    Thanks

  • Equium P200D - revert to the original BIOS?

    Toshiba Tempo alerted me to the existence of an updated Bios for my notebook, but on installation the system froze and now it won't restart at all (blank screen) As part of the installation I was asked if I wanted to back up the existing Bios, which I did (under BIOS-BAK), but how can I now get into the system in order to access the back up and revert to the original Bios ?
    All suggestions gratefully received !

    Hi
    I agree with the user above. The old BIOS can only be reinstalled if the update went well.
    Now in your case you need professional help form an authorized service provider. The technicians have to reflash the ROM module.

    I goof is kept to the old firmware bios, firmware and after computer started to hang every couple of minutes. Tumbler for overlock, those on the motherboard, when they switched to other modes motherboard does not start. I think you need the original bios. But I have neither version nor the old bios file.

    Quote from: Svet on 20-January-12, 00:29:29
    BIOS is correct one, read >>Posting Guide<<
    If the bios is correct, then why not work switches for overclocking??? With their switching to other modes (10%, 15% and 20%) than default motherboard does not start. How do you explain this? In BIOS firmware is working correctly.

    How to Backup a MacBook Pro to Icloud

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't back up a MacBook to iCloud, as there isn't enough storage to make backups of a Mac. Instead, you can use services like CrashPlan, but the best way to back up your Mac is by using Time Machine or a cloning app like Carbon Copy Cloner onto an external drive. Doing this, you can be sure your data is with you everywhere

    Hi there,  i'm new to the iPHONE community and please can someone tell me how to backup my phone to iCLOUD. How do i connect with wi-fi. Must i buy a wi-fi connetion or what.Thank you kind regards

    Do you have a wi-fi network in your home ? If you do then you should be able to connect your phone to it via Settings > Wi-Fi on your phone - that should show any networks that are available, and tapping on the network that you want to use (and typing in its password if it's password protected) should connect the phone to it. If you don't have a wi-fi network then yes, you will need wifi router in your home, which is connected to the internet (e.g. via your phone line) to be able to back up your phone to iCloud.

But I'm not sure if it is  doing anything since I can't see whats displaying.
