The BIOS Recovery tool is designed to recover a corrupted BIOS (this often displays as a POST or boot issue). They are based on Boot Block Technology. The BIOS Recovery 2 (BR2) software's main feature is to provide the flexibility to recover a corrupted BIOS using a BIOS recovery file from the computer's primary hard disk drive or an external USB drive. While the BIOS Recovery 3 (BR3) software adds a computer start-up check, that can be enabled in the BIOS to add an autorecovery capability to the BIOS recovery process.

A corrupt BIOS is one of the possible causes of a computer unable to complete POST or boot into the operating system. If the Dell computer or tablet supports BIOS recovery 2 or 3, you can recover the corrupt BIOS by using the recovery method that is detailed below for your Dell computer or tablet.

NOTE: BIOS recovery is not supported on all Dell computers. See the FAQ section for a detailed list of Dell computers and tablets that support the BIOS recovery.

While BIOS Recovery 2 (BR2) and BIOS Recovery 3 (BR3) is supported on Dell desktops, all-in-one computers, laptops, convertible and detachable computers such as Dell XPS 12 and Dell tablets. There are different methods to initiate a BIOS recovery on these devices. BIOS recovery can be started using:

  • Key sequence
  • Button sequence

BIOS Recovery 2

  • Supports recovery from your computers primary hard drive and from an external USB drive.
  • Recovery from your computers primary hard drive is enabled by default within the BIOS Setup. (It can be disabled if you choose, but this is not recommended.)
  • Recovery from the external USB drive cannot be disabled in the BIOS Setup. Enabled by default.
  • The default search location for the BIOS recovery image is the external USB drive, if a USB drive is present. If an image is not found on the USB drive or the USB drive is absent, the BIOS then searches the primary hard drive for the recovery image. The search terminates if no recovery image is found, see the FAQ section.
  • The FAQ section answers questions regarding issues that you may encounter during an unsuccessful BIOS recovery.

NOTE:

  • BIOS recovery 2 can be initialized using the integrated keyboard on Dell laptops and does not support external keyboard for laptops.
  • BIOS recovery 2 can be initialized on Dell desktops using the standard USB keyboard. Bluetooth keyboards work if BIOS has POST support for system-specific Bluetooth keyboards. However, Bluetooth keyboards are not recommended for use when attempting BIOS recovery.
  • BIOS recovery can be initialized on Dell tablets using the physical buttons that are available on the tablet.
  • BIOS recovery can be initialized on Dell convertible or detachable computers using both external keyboard or physical buttons that are available on the computer.
  • BIOS recovery cannot be initialized using the touch screen of the device.

  • BIOS recovery 3 is an improvement on BIOS recovery 2. It has all the same features, with an added feature that allows for autorecovery to start during boot if an integrity check that has to be enabled in the BIOS (Default is Disabled) fails and there is a recovery image on the hard drive. Autorecovery is not possible from other media.
