Abstract
The goal of this article was to present detailed information about writing and deleting process on the NTFS (New Technology File System) formatted drives. The most important are the algorithms used by computer to write data BFA (Best Fit Algorithm) and FFA (First-Free Algorithm) to update $MFT (Master File Table). The naming convention of the areas of the drive is presented. The proposed rules of writing and deleting algorithm were successfully validated with real NTFS volume.
