Answer - A - Use the fixboot command to write new boot sector code. It is a Recovery Console command that writes a new partition boot sector to the system partition that you specify.

Key Takeaway: The syntax for this command is fixboot (drive). The drive in the command is the drive that a boot sector will be written to and will replace the system partition that you're currently logged on to. If no drive is specified, the boot sector will be written to the system partition that you're currently logged on to.

For example, the command fixboot c: will write the boot sector to the partition that's currently labeled as the C: drive-most likely the partition you are currently logged on to. The command is usually used to deal with a corrupted Windows boot sector.
