Well....the MBR (Master Boot Record) is a "record" if you will that tells the 
OS what partitions are bootable/active and which aren't. I imagine there's 
some bug in windows that will mildly (though rarely) corrupt the MBR and thus 
you'll get the "Enter the path for the Command Interpreter." So..fdisk /mbr 
will fix the MBR and return it to it's normal state.
