Win 7 (File System Structure):-
Windows 7 used the most common file system NTFS, file system is a format which a computer can use to store date/information in our storage devices like Hard Drive, Master File Table (MFT) is the core of NTFS and is used by Operating System’s applications only, Actually MFT is a table which consists all files information such as file attributes, security features, rights, the physical location of a file on hard drive is also stored in MFT that is sectors where files are physically stored, and without this address the OS would
not know about the files, that where is the requested file is stored.
