How to Rebuild the MBR and the Partition Tables |
| There are four straightforward steps to perform a recovery by repairing damaged MBR and Partition Tables. |
| 1. Select the problem disk |
| 2. Run an analyze disk procedure by selecting [Rebuild partition tables] from the [Perform repairs] menu |
| 3. Select all partitions that must be present when the recovery is finished |
| 4. Start the repair phase |
| |
| Disk Analysis |
| During the disk analysis DiskPatch will scan the disk for 'significant sectors'; sectors containing information or patterns that can be used to detect partitions, and that can be used to rebuild damaged disk structures during the repair phase. |
| |
To start scanning the disk select [Rebuild partition tables] from the [Perform repairs] menu. Select [Quick scan] or [Full scan]. If you selected the full scan, DiskPatch will scan the entire hard disk (recommended). The quick scan determines which areas to scan by itself.

Once you have selected your partitions, select [Start to Repair]. DiskPatch will now start the repairs. Before the repairs are performed, DiskPatch will show the 'create undo archive' dialogue. Enter a description or leave the suggested text and press <enter> to create the new undo file. |
| Repair Phase |
| During the actual repairs no user intervention is required. DiskPatch will now create and fix: |
|
A primary partition table in sector 0 (the MBR). A primary partition table is always created during the repair.
|
|
Extended Partition Boot Records (EPBR). The location varies and depends on the locations of logical partitions. EPBRs are only created when logical partitions were selected for recovery.
|
|
Boot Sectors. Every partition's first sector contains important meta information that describes file system structures within the partition. DiskPatch only attempts to fix boot sectors if there are indications that an original boot sector is damaged.
