Robin Watson a student of Mass Communication doing research on partition recovery software. He is also a freelancer for hard drive recovery software .
MBR (Master Boot Record) corruption can be cured by fixmbr command in Windows XP and Windows 2000. This command rewrites the entire code of MBR. MBR is a small code located at the first sector of hard drive and runs every time, when the system starts booting up.
Hence the corruption of MBR makes system unbootable that can be repaired using fixmbr command. This command needs device name if MBR repair is required for device other than boot device. It is applicable for x86 based computer systems. But the incorrect use of this command can corrupt Partition Table that ultimately requires Partition Recovery solution.
Partition Table holds the information about disk partition, partition size and location. Each partition records 16-bytes in the table.
The use of command can make all the partitions inaccessible for the user and cause data loss in following situations:
1. When system is facing some hardware issues.
2. When hard disk is virus infected.
Therefore it is suggested to follow up few recommendations before using the command:
1. We need to use a suitable antivirus program that can scan and remove any virus present on disk. The antivirus program used must be updated one.
2. All the connected hardware must be checked before using the command.
3. All data must be backed up. Data backup should be checked for status and media integrity. It will be more beneficial to check if data backup copy contains all the files and information required.
If a user commits mistake of using fixmbr on virus infected or hardware issues facing drive with no valid backup then the only solution is to go for Partition Recovery Software. The Partition Recovery Software availed by Stellar Information Systems offers interactive interface, safe scanning algorithms, secure data restoration and quality features to recover lost data.
