You are using the Recovery Console to repair a damaged Windows XP machine. You want to write a new partition table from the backup Master File Table. What command do you use in Recovery Console?

A. DISKPART

B. FIXBOOT

C. FIXMBR

D. SYSTEMROOT

Solution

c.fixmbr

If your Master Boot Record becomes corrupted through drive errors or malware etc, it could stop you booting your operating system and in the worst case, cause all the partitions on the drive to be lost because the drive doesn’t have the correct information to identify them. If your system has a standard disc layout, it’s always possible to write a new standard MBR using the Windows XP Recovery Console and the FixMBR command. Or you can use a Windows 7 install disc and select the “Repair your computer” -> Command Prompt option with the Bootrec /fixmbr command which also works on Vista and Windows 8 from the Windows 7 disc.
