NTFS is complex and undocumented. Actually, I am being unfair. I am sure that there is great documentation on the NTFS filesystem. But it is kept in a locked vault somewhere at Microsoft's headquarters. NTFS support is being worked on by a bunch of people who are trying to reverse-engineer an understanding of the file system. To make things even harder, Microsoft keeps changing the way NTFS works slightly with every new release of MSWindows. So in other words, Win NT4.0 NTFS Win 2000 NTFS Win XP NTFS and Win Server 2003 NTFS have differences and the developers are trying to hit a moving target. And of course nobody is getting any help from Microsoft with this problem because it is in Microsoft's best interest to prevent other operating systems from being able to easily interact with a Microsoft Windows operating system partition. |

Like I said in another post, I work as a computer tech. I repair computer, install systems, etc... The real plague now about Windows XP is the flood of spywares / viruses I have to fight everyday. |
