Recover DBR by Format

Recover DBR by Format
If there is no important data in this partition, or you have backed up the data, the best way to
recover DBR is direct high-level format, fast format or complete format. If there is no limitation of
partition form and capacity, there would be no difference between DOS format and Windows
format except speed. Format is quite thorough, it can completely rearrange the data storage, even
“reset” former file fragmentation.
Although this method is simple, it cannot recover data actually especially if you choose some
different parameters. If you choose different system reserved sectors, or use clusters of different
size, or change the size of FAT table etc, data recovery will be more difficult.
Data recovery by Fixboot of Partition Table Doctor
If the boot sector of a Fat16/Fat32/Ntfs partition was corrupted, it will be marked with X by
Partition Table Doctor. If you cannot access a Fat16/Ntfs partition and the partition was marked
with X. Right click the partition and choose Fixboot. Partition Table Doctor will automatically
check and restore the boot sector of the partition.
