Fixboot is employed when the Windows boot sector is computed, and it is also used to write a new Windows boot sector on the system partition. It fixes the harm to the Windows boot sector and overrides the default setting. The new boot segment will be written on the system partition that is shown.

Fixmbr, on the other hand, is employed to restore the Master Boot Record. Fixboot is utilized when the Windows boot sector and overrides the default setting. The new boot sector will be transcribed on the system partition that the user is logged on or the system partition he has shown.

It is applied when Windows cannot start because of harm to the Master Boot Record because of a virus or an issue with the hardware. Like the Fixboot, the user must show the drive site to be corrected, or the Master Boot Record will be authored on the primary boot drive.

Fixboot is something that you will use when you would like to write a new boot sector within the whole system. If you would like to repair the Master Boot Record, also known as MBR, you would need to use fixmbr instead. If you are wondering how fixmbr is defined, this is a recovery console command.

There are times when there are some files that may be corrupted because of the virus. It can make the boot sectors corrupted. Sometimes, corrupted files will cause the laptop to not start properly. It can also make Windows not startup properly. Using the Fixmbr can be essential to make sure that things will work properly.
