whats the difference between Bootrec /fixmbr and Bootrec /fixboot versus Bootsect bootsect /nt60 sys

Bootsect : Bootsect.exe updates the master boot code for hard disk partitions to switch between Bootmgr and NT Loader (NTLDR). You can use this tool to restore the boot sector on your computer.

Bootrec /Fixboot : The fixboot command is a Recovery environment command that writes a new partition boot sector(PBS)(aka Volume Boot Record)to the system partition that you specify

Bootrec /fixmbr Use the FixMbr option when you need to repair Master Boot Record(MBR)corruption problems, or when you need to clean the code from the MBR. This command will not overwrite the existing partition table in the hard drive.


Is Bootrec and Bootsect basically doing the same thing? The only difference being that Bootrec is only available in the Recovery environment?

TIA
