I forgot to mention this! I did run into the same issue, but you do not need the .bat file to create a backup. Instead, you can create a backup of your BIOS by opening an admin-level command prompt window in the folder containing fptw64.exe and running the following command:

fptw64.exe -d BackupBios.bin -bios

 

Hi, May i know how to run command prompt in specific path?

Hi!

I'm a new member,  Let's be nice to each other and learn together. Cheers

why not TeamViewer?

I believe it became free after acquired by Microsoft right?

I'm using it frequently and the quality is not bad.

Just to share that i myself am not a very tech savvy person.

I found after the BIOS tweak, MSI afterburner offers the most simplified approach compared to inspector.

It is a free software, but do take care not to mess too much with the Voltage thingy. It is generally risky.

I learned that the hard way. haha. Hopefully no one falls into the same trap as me.

I second Lenovo. They have a reasonable price point.

But if i were you, i'd wait a while until they release the 10XX series GPU.

The current Y700 is all good but it is still relying on GTX9XX series.

Guys when i try to backup the bios i get  "Error 200: Invalid parameter value specified by user. Use -? option to see help."

when i execute the Backup file it opens and close instantly and i don't get any backup.bin file  ...

any help or solution please ?

 

Bro,

I'm having the exact issue, what i did is that

1. right click on the .exe file and set tick run as admin and also compatible mode as win8

2. restart

3. try again. Voila.

At least that worked for me. help that help

why not try Raspberry pi for RAID backup storage? I personally intend to start it since i already got a First gen Pi B

Synology in my opinion is really expensive.

This might be a stupid suggestion but i realized that the Win64 version download of the backup file does not include the Backup.bat file.

For those facing same issue with me, you can download it from

Fptw64 tool.

Just hope it help someone. cheers
