Built In Storage is a part of ROM. Dell provides, as a part of the OS, the utility to write to that left over space. It does survive a hard reset. So you could simply copy your software to that area and accomplish the objective of surviving a hard reset. The registry would be destroyed and recreated in the hard reset, so the software would need to be re-installed if it depends on registry entries, but if the file in BIS is the installer, or if it runs independently, that should work.
