    Saving or Extracting your BIOS

    Ok, if someone wonder how to extract the current award BIOS from their motherboard, take a look at a few notes below:

    1. Create a bootable disk or USB drive. Of course you need to do a full format to make sure there aren't any damage with your media.
    2. Make sure that the disk has plenty of room to save your BIOS image file. BIOS image takes at least 400KB, this number depends on the content of your BIOS.
    3. Copy the AWDFLASH.EXE file into the disk or USB drive.
    4. Boot with your bootable disk or USB.
    At the command prompt, type the following commands and press enter.

    A:\>awdflash A:\xxxxxxxx.bin /pn /sy

    Where xxxxxxxx will be the filename you want for your BIOS image file. See sample below:

    A:\>awdflash A:\EMX690V2.BIN /pn /sy

    Note: Special thanks to @petar for giving me the commands.
