If you have disks from your RAID, but are uncertain of their order within the array, - this tool is for you. Summary: In an NTFS5 file system, each file record (2 sectors = 1024 bytes) has a logical number. In most cases, if the partition is not very fragmented then these numbers will sequentially follow one another. Sector by sector, the NTFSAnalizator tool, is checking FILE0 magic by offset 0, if yes - then it is possible to recover the file record from MFT, and then parse it to find the record number. The found record number will be saved in the column with the current hard drive and in a row with the sector number in which the record was found. analising MFT records Input information:
  • hard drives for analysis - prepare text file with drives list and open it by pressing the button "Open"
  • start sector for analysing
  • step in sectors - by default - 1, but it is usable to setup it to 64 or 128. Then you know the #MFT FILE start sector and should want to quickly find the RAID strip size.
Example file with hard drives list: \\.\PhysicalDrive2 \\.\PhysicalDrive3 \\.\PhysicalDrive4 \\.\PhysicalDrive5 or if you have the drive images: K:\0.bin d:\1.bin d:\2.bin K:\3.bin
