Do you have additional information on FDISK /MBR?
Question:Do you have additional information on FDISK /MBR?
Answer:The FDISK /MBR command is an
undocumented switch used with the FDISK command (MS-DOS 5.0 and
higher) that enables users to recreate their master boot record on
their hard disk drive.
Q.) Does doing FDISK /MBR more than one time have any effect
on the computer?
A.) How this command operates varies depending on the version
of FDISK you are using. However, when performing this command, it is
overwriting the information that is contained in the MBR. Performing
this command multiple times is not going to do anything more than
performing the same steps again.
Q.) How can I recreate the Master Boot Record on a different
hard disk drive other than my primary hard disk drive?
A.) Use FDISK /CMBR <drive number> where <drive number>
represents the drive you wish to recreate the master boot record. To
determine the drive number, run the fdisk /status command.
Users can also find much more
detailed notes about FDISK through links found on our hard
disk drive network section.
