The boot record on your hard drives are at the beginning of each logical partition and contain info about that drive. If the boot record is on the active or bootable partition then it also contains start up procedure that boots the Operating System. This is different from the Master Boot Record.
The program recorded in the Boot Sector. All floppies have a boot record, whether or not the disk is actually bootable. Whenever you start or reset your computer with a disk in the A: drive, DOS reads the boot record from that diskette. If a boot virus has infected the floppy, the computer first reads the virus code in, then jumps to whatever sector the virus tells the drive to read, where the virus has stored the original boot record.
A file system table, containing information about bootable partition i.e. which contains operating system. (Often referred to as Boot sector, Boot block or Boot Track).
Once the BIOS determines which disk to boot from, it loads the first sector of that disk into memory and executes it. Besides this loader program, the Boot Record contains the partition table for that disk. If the Boot Record is damaged, it can be a very serious situation
Boot record is found at the beginning of each logical partition of a hard drive, it contains information about the drive. Boot record on the active or bootable partition contains a start up procedure that boots the operating system.
A file system table of the FAT and NTFS file systems, containing information about one partition.
The first sector on a hard disk or other disk media. When a computer boots up it searches for a master boot record wherever the BIOS tells it to (usually the master hard drive on the first IDE channel, but this can also be checked for in CD/DVD drives and floppy drives) and, based on what the master boot record says, loads up an operating system. Thus, if the master boot record becomes corrupt or is tampered with by a virus, it can cause your computer to be unable to boot. The table of contents for your hard-drive. This is the outermost section and tells the computer where to look for the operating system. SCW consultants are hardware troubleshooting gurus. Often a master boot record can become corrupted by a virus or external variables. SCW consulting has the experience and knowledge to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
The program recorded in the boot sector. This record contains information on the characteristics and contents of the disk and information needed to boot the computer. If a user boots a PC with a floppy disk, the system reads the boot record from that disk. See Also: Boot Sector
