for some commercial project I'm doing I need to be able to read the actual data stored on the $mft file. I found a gpl lib that could help, but since its gpl i can't integrate it into my code. could someone please point me to a project that i could use / or point me at the relevant windows API (something that doesn't require 1000 lines of code to implement) BTW, why doesn't windows simply allow me to read the mft file directly anyway? (through the create file and the read method, if i want to ruin my drive it's my business not Ms's). thanks. You just have to open a handle to the volume using

问题 Why can not I create a deep path whose characters in path is more than 255 in NTFS File System? It seems a limits of FAT32, but also exist in NTFS? Can anyone provide some documents? Many Thanks! 回答1: The 260 character limitation is not a limitation of the file system, but of the Win32 API. Win32 defines MAX_PATH as 260 which is what the API is using to check the length of the path passed into functions like FileCreate, FileOpen, etc. (which are used by .NET in the BCL). However, you can

Or does anyone know of any site that documents NTFS enough so that I can code this myself? (I want to read the $bitmap so I can identify what clusters are not in use, so they can be removed from the images.) 回答1: There's one short paragraph in this early publication by a talented person: http://www.alex-ionescu.com/NTFS.pdf 回答2: I answered this one in a different place, but on a live Windows machine the best answer is probably to use FSCTL_GET

Windows XP vs Vista: NTFS Junction points

廉价感情. 提交于 2019-12-03 06:57:56
问题 Problem: I relied heavily on NTFS Junction points in Windows XP, even though they apparently were not an "official" feature of the operating system. Now MSFT has generously made NTFS Junction points an official part of Vista, but apparently they also intentionally broke them. Now my WinXP-created junction points on portable USB drive don't work when I plug that drive into a Vista box. Questions: Does anyone have a script that will force NTFS junctions created on XP to work correctly within
