A computer disk includes a Master Boot Record (MBR). The MBR is located in sector 0 of the physical disk and contains important information regarding system start-up. It also contains up to four entries describing volume locations, file system types, etc. If the Master Boor Record (MBR) becomes corrupted, then the PC may no longer boot, drives can become inaccessible, etc.
DriveRestore Professional will repair:
• Corrupted partitions.
• Virus damaged file systems.
• Corrupted MBRs - Disk Boot failure.
• Invalid media errors.
• Invalid drive specification errors.
A disk may also include an Extended Partition (EP). An Extended Partition replaces one of the primary partitions and was introduced to enable the physical disk to be divided into more than four logical drives. The EP boot sector retains information about how many partitions there are within the Extended Partition, where they are located, etc. If an extended partition becomes corrupted then drives may no longer be accessible.
DriveRestore Professional will analyze the Master boot record, partition tables, Extended partition boot sector, Active partitions, system areas, etc., for errors and automatically repair them. DriveRestore Professional will also surface scan the PC drives for physical damage.
Removable drives

These devices, as with all drives, can experience problems resulting in the device freezing, crashing or failing to start.
