Welcome

MBRWizard helps resolve many types of MBR problems that commonly occur to Windows and Linux machines, and offers features to repair, restore, and protect your MBR. Starting with MBRWizard 3.0, we added a simple graphical interface (GUI) version, to further simplify managing and repairing your MBR. You also find a bootable media ISO included with the product, helping you boot machines that are otherwise unable to boot to get your machine up and running ASAP!

Originally designed to help solve common Master Boot Record (MBR) issues, MBRWizard has evolved into much more than just a simple MBR utility. Most PC users don't realize that the MBR contains one of the most vital pieces of data on the disk, the partition layout. How much would you lose if the MBR on your disk became corrupt? Can you afford to lose your pictures, music and videos, financial information, reports, and all of the other important files on your disk.

Announcing:  MBRWizard 4.1 available for download!

Come check out the new graphical (GUI) version of MBRWizard, now with Cloud backup! Designed to further simplify MBR management, you will also find updated freeware command line (CLI) versions of MBRWizard, with a streamlined parameter list and improved functionality.
