In this segment of the video, the speaker addresses the error message stating “the selected disk is not a fixed mbr disk.” They explain that this error occurs when the disk type is GPT (GUID Partition Table) but the command being executed is for MBR (Master Boot Record). The viewer is guided on how to check and identify their disk type using DiskPart and listing disks. The video discusses the differences between MBR and GPT partition styles, the file systems they use (NTFS for MBR and FAT32 for GPT), and the significance of the BCD (Boot Configuration Data) store in loading Windows. The speaker emphasizes that the BCD boot command can help fix boot-related errors by recreating or repairing the corrupted BCD store with examples of commonly mistaken options in the command.

In this segment of the video, the speaker guides viewers on how to identify the OS disk and system partition for a Windows installation. Viewers are instructed to use command prompt, list disks, select the OS disk, list volumes, check for Windows and Program Files, note down drive letters, identify the system partition (usually FAT32), assign a drive letter, finalize with a bcd boot command, and use write parameters for UEFI on GPT disks. The speaker emphasizes retrying commands if errors occur and offers further assistance resources.
