Fdisk/Mbr and troubleshoot clips

fdisk mbr only repairs the master boot record. it won't bother any data

I would have thought that finding clips and videos about computer trouble shooting generally is far too broad. If you google you should find plenty of general info on computer troubleshooting. You will then have to search under the specific aspects for more detailed information. There is no quick answer because, as with many other things, knowledge has to be absorbed by training and experience. Reasonable progress is possible by experience alone but this requires dedication, time, and a lot of searching for information and answers. DerekW

If you are using drive overlay software or have a non standard MBR due to a boot manager, the command may cause problems, but in most cases it's quite innocuous As far as video clips - I don't think a short movie of someone thinking would be too useful - - on the other hand this guy has made his fortune by providing video help I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.

Thanks for all your help. I tried searching under google but did not find what I was looking for. I remember in one of the cd editions of magazine called pcquest, i think, they gave small clips of working of computer hardware. I am trying to search for small clips or videos which would explain working of different components of computer or troubleshooting hardware issues in computer. Any help is highly appreciated.

Well, now you've said hardware that narrows it down a good bit. I doubt it makes too much odds to the drift of what has been posted though. It also depends how deep you want to go. It can range from anunderstanding of electronics to a general recognition of components and their function with an ability to test, access and replace components and boards. There are a lot of hardware forums around (there's one here for starters). These will help somewhat, as will attempting to build your own machine. A broad software knowledge is still necessary of-course. DerekW

Well, a working knowledge of hardware is hardly brain surgery - if you can't pick it up from books, online articles and hands-on experience... maybe it's not for you(?)
