I know there all kinds of programs out there that advertise fixing the MBR, especially Windows. The Master Boot Record consists of the Master Boot Code and the Master Partition Table, correct? But I never thought about if the windows command, fixmbr, or similar, repairs the whole 512 bytes or it only repairs the Master Boot Code. I think it doesn't touch the Master Partition Table but I'm not quite sure.
In short, does the fixmbr command repair the Master Boot Code only or it repairs the Master Partition Table, too?
Thank you for reading.
I want to clarify the MBR is 512 bytes -- 446 bytes for the Master Boot Code, 4 rows * 16 bytes for the Master Partition Table and the boot signature.
