note
• If DEVICE_NAME is not specified, the new main boot record will be written to the boot device, that is, the drive of the main system.
• If the system detects an invalid or non-standard partition table tag, the user will prompt whether the user continues to execute. Do not continue unless you have a problem with your access drive. Write a new primary boot record to system partitions may destroy the partition table and cause the partition to be unacceptable.
