File system of every computer contains a number of system files, which are used to carry out a number of operations. Each system file in the file system has equal importance and their proper functioning is required for the file system to work. The NTFS (New Technology File System) file system includes a number of system files that are stored in hidden mode. In case, any of the system files gets damaged or corrupted, hard drive volume becomes inaccessible and you encounter data loss situations. At this point, you need to opt for NTFS Data Recovery solutions to get your valuable data back.

The system files are used by the NTFS file system for storing the file system metadata and for implementing the file system. NTFS system files are put on Windows hard drive volume through Format utility. NTFS file system includes the following significant system files:

Master File Table- It contains a base file record for every file/folder on NTFS volume. If allocation information for file/folder is so large that can not fit in single record, new file records are also allocated. Master File Table 2- It is a duplicate copy of initial four records of MFT. Log File- Stores details of the transaction steps, which are used to recover NTFS file system. This file is used for restoring consistency to the NTFS in case of system failure. Volume- Holds volume information, such as volume version, volume label, and volume size. Attribute Definitions- Table of the attribute names, descriptions, and numbers. Boot Sector- Contains BPB, which is used for mounting NTFS volume. Also includes additional bootstrap loader code if volume is bootable. NTFS Extension File- It is used for several optional extensions like quotas, object identifiers, and reparse point data.
