Virtually all operating systems come with tools to manage the hard disk. The vast majority of these ...

Virtually all operating systems come with tools to manage the hard disk. The vast majority of these tools are unable to read metafiles such as the $MFT file in Windows 7. Why is this?

▸ The $MFT file is actually not part of the file system.

▸ Metafiles are database internal to the file system and are therefore locked out whenever the file system is mounted.

▸ While the metafiles are an integral part of the file system, the files themselves reside outside of the directory structure.

▸ Metafiles are protected system files and require access that user-level utilities are not granted by the OS.
