Dear all,

I'm trying to find out the exact layout of an MFT record.

I understand the record structure:

| Standard information | Name | Data | Empty |


However, I would like to know what every single byte in the record does.....
Any would be much appreciated??


Cheers,

Ben

Off the top of my head, the easiest way might be to take a look at one
of the open-source implementations that supports NFTS on, say, Linux.

That's what I'm currently looking in to.
The best link I have found is: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/
