bios dump

Hello,

I managed to use the dd program to obtain a dump of my computer's bios
assuming that the start address is 0xffff0 and is 64k in size. I ran file on
the file and it reported data file. Now I have tried to look at the bios in
a hex editor I have for windows but nothing shows up. Are their any file
attributes that I might need to change in order to be able to read this in a
hex editor?

Bill
