MFT special file remarks
- Special files upto MFT-A are fixed, and standard
- MFT B represents a directory with (for XP):
- $ObjId Object identification data
- $Quota User space restriction data
- $Reparse Reparse points, aliases in the
filesystem, much like Unix/Linux
soft-links (or WPS shadows)
- MFT numbers upto arround 1A are reserved for
system file use by the FS itself, after that
the first user files will appear
