NTFS
New Technology File System
The NTFS File System is the standard file system of Windows
NT and its descendants Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003. Windows version 95, 98, 98SE and ME, cannot
natively read NTFS
file systems, although utilities do exist for this purpose.
NTFS replaced Microsoft's
previous FAT file system, used in MSDOS and early versions
of Windows. NTFS has several
improvements over FAT such as improved support for metadata
16 and
the use of advanced data structures to improve performance,
reliability and disk space utilization plus additional
extensions such as security access control lists and
file system journaling.
