4. When fixing potential boot problems, Reflect performs a number of actions as detailed in the next dialog
   
   
   
   The various actions are explained in more detail below:

   Action	Description
   Reset the boot disk ID	Each disk has a unique identifier. However, if for some reason the ID is not unique on your system, there will be problems with booting.
   Replace the Master Boot Record	The master boot record is fundamental to your system being able to boot correctly. If it has become corrupted, your system can not boot.
   Replace partition sector boot code	The master boot record contains a reference to the partition sector boot code which in turn is used to boot Windows. If this has been corrupted Windows will not boot.
   Rebuild the Boot Configuration Database (BCD) and BOOT.INI files	The BCD and BOOT.ini are required to enable the correct operating system on your disk(s) to boot correctly.

   Deselect any parts of the boot process you would not like Reflect to fix.
