Need to research win xp file system

[Kevin Raleigh]

I would like to create an outline of all the things that should be reported
on if I researched winXP's file system and from this I need to create a
report
I am not sure where to begin. Can you give me any pointers?

The answer I get is ms tech support but this is really vague

insight always appreciated
Thank You

(snip long list of operating system details)

Didn't your instructor give you a starting point? Don't you have any
books about operating system structures? For high-level technical
information about Microsoft products, go to Technet and start
researching.
