BMGR CLEAN

CleanMBR cleans the Master Boot Record. This program can be used when you encounter a Rescue and
Recovery installation failure, such as not being able to install the Rescue and Recovery program with less
than the required sectors free for the boot manager to install.

1. After running this tool, the applications that are using MBR will be useless. For example: SafeGuard

Easy, SafeBoot, and MBR version of Computrace.

2. Run before installing the Rescue and Recovery program.
