About NTFS

Before we start this tutorial, let's learn some basic knowledge about NTFS file system.

File system is what an Operating System or program uses to organize and keep track of files. For example, a hierarchical file system is one that uses directories to organize files into a tree structure. The common file systems are FAT12, FAT16, VFAT, FAT32, NTFS/NTFS5, EXT, EXT2, EXT3, SWAP.

Although the Operating System provides its own file management system, we also could convert separate file management systems from FAT to NTFS. There are more and more computer users choosing NTFS, because NTFS could satisfy users.

NTFS is the standard file system of Windows NT, including its later versions Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

NTFS supersedes the FAT file system as the preferred file system for Microsoft's Windows operating systems. NTFS has several improvements over FAT and HPFS (High Performance File System) such as improved support for metadata and the use of advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability, and disk space utilization, plus additional extensions such as security access control lists (ACL) and file system journaling.

NTFS includes several new features over its predecessors: disk usage quotas, sparse file support, reparse points, distributed link tracking, and file-level encryption, also known as the Encrypting File System (EFS).
