Version: MbrFix 1
"Worked Like a Charm"
Pros: I had installed a bunch of Linux distributions on my PC and ended up with a multi-boot Master Boot Record. After I got rid of all the Linux installations and partitions on my Hard Disk, I was still left with the multi-boot menu everytime I turned on my machine. Even worse was that the default option on the boot menu was a Linux partition that I had already deleted. Whenever I booted the machine, I had to wait for the boot menu to select windows, otherwise it would just hang and I would have to reboot again. A waste of time.
Just like the another reviewer said, this utility fixed the problem fast and easy. All I did was type the following in a DOS window.
mbrfix /drive 2 fixmbr
(2 was my disk number)
Rebooted and that was it.
Of course, I had taken many backup precautions but everything turned out just fine.
Thank you for this utility.
