  2. Location of MFT and MFT Zone

    Hi,

    when system starts, ntfs.sys driver tries to allocate MFT zone just after last MFT fragment. If this is impossible MFT zone is located in any suitable place on disk.

    Please note, MFT zone have no physical representation in file system terms, it exists only due ntfs.sys attempts to optimize possible MFT increasing.

    Location of MFT and MFT Zone

    Hi

    I am using an HP Laptop running Windows 10 Home 64-bit Version 1909 recently updated..

    I use Raxco Perfect Disc 14 Professional to defrag my hard disc drive and note that recently the visual display of the Hard Drive Blocks which it provides show that the MFT Blocks are no longer adjoined by the MFT Zone.

    Should it be the case that the MFT Blocks should precede the MFT Zone (which I assume is free space for MFT to expand without fragmentation.

    Do I have a problem with my Windows 10.

    Eric
