What Is NTFS- Overview
NTFS (short for New Technology File System) is the standard file system of Windows NT, including its later versions Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
NTFS supersedes the FAT file system as the preferred file system for Microsoft's Windows operating systems. NTFS has several improvements over FAT and HPFS (High-Performance File System) such as improved support for metadata and the use of advanced data structures to improve performance, reliability, and disk space utilization, plus additional extensions such as security access control lists (ACL) and file system journaling.
What Causes an NTFS Partition Loss
If you accidentally format your partition, or if there is a corrupted or damaged NTFS partition, you will not be able to access the files on that NTFS partition. In these situations, data recovery software can help you recover lost files from the partitions.

- Operating System not found

- The file system is displayed as RAW
- Drive not formatted.
- Cannot find the file or program
- Invalid command.com
- Non-system disk
- File names contain "weird" characters.
