Hi All, Can Win_XP's $MFT be directly edited ?

And you dumb twit ask this question in not at all caring linux group exactly
why?

 

[R. McCarty]

Yes, with a Disk Editor tool. Definitely an advanced type of operation,
never undertaken without a Full/Verified partition image.

It's called 'sharing' and you should thank him for it.

Whats a registry? And why do you need to edit it?
None of these bootable CDs have registry and they are all free
to edit the source code - http://www.livecdlist.com

What does "registry" have to do with $MFT, linuxfuck idiot.

Hi 7, Who said anything about Win_XP's registry ?
$MFT is a so_called metafile, NTFS's Master_File_Table, analogous to FAT32.

Hi R__McCarty, I asked if Win_XP's $MFT could be directly edited,
and you replied:

Thank you, that answered my question.
Acronis looks like an interesting way to go:
