    Boot sector restoration tool

    Bootsect.exe updates the master boot code for hard disk partitions in order to
    switch between BOOTMGR and NTLDR.  You can use this tool to restore the boot
    sector on your computer.

    /help   Displays these usage instructions.

    /nt52   Applies the master boot code that is compatible with NTLDR to SYS,
            ALL, or <DriveLetter>.  The operating system installed on SYS, ALL, or
            <DriveLetter> must be older than Windows Vista.

    /nt60   Applies the master boot code that is compatible with BOOTMGR to SYS,
            ALL, or <DriveLetter>.  The operating system installed on SYS, ALL, or
            <DriveLetter> must be Windows Vista or WindowsServer "Longhorn".

    SYS     Updates the master boot code on the system partition used to boot
            Windows.

    ALL     Updates the master boot code on all partitions.  ALL does not
            necessarily update the boot code for each volume.  Instead, this
            option updates the boot code on volumes that could be used as Windows
            boot volumes, which excludes any dynamic volumes that are not
            connected with an underlying disk partition.  This restriction is
            present because boot code must be located at the beginning of a disk
            partition.

    <DriveLetter> Updates the master boot code on the volume associated with this
            drive letter.  Boot code will not be updated if either 1)
            <DriveLetter> is not associated with a volume or 2) <DriveLetter> is
            associated with a volume not connected to an underlying disk
            partition.

    /force  Forcibly dismounts the volume(s) during the boot code update.  You
            should use this option with caution.

            If Bootsect.exe cannot gain exclusive volume access then the file
            system may overwrite the boot code before the next reboot.
            Bootsect.exe always attempts to lock and dismount the volume before
            each update.  When /force is specified, a forced dismount is attempted
            if the initial lock attempt fails.  A lock can fail, for example, if
            files on the target volume are currently opened by other programs.

            When successful, a forced dismount allows exclusive volume access and
            a reliable boot code update even though the initial lock failed.  At
            the same time, a forced dismount invalidates all open handles to files
            on the target volume.  This could result in unexpected behavior from
            the programs that opened these files.  Therefore, you should use this
            option with caution.

    Example:

    To apply the master boot code that is compatible with NTLDR to the volume
    labeled E:, use the following command:

    bootsect /nt52 E:
