Finding files quickly: MFT parser!?
«

Hi guys (& TedSmith
),
Reading through some threads on the ML and searching online it appears that you can quite quickly get a list of files and directories in a certain directory or disk (if you are using NTFS) by directly parsing the MFT/Master File Table.
Found a reference to an open source Delphi program but the website disappeared. edit: DiscBuddy, disappeared page
http://free.pages.at/blumetools/toolsen.html
Would there be any open source code available for doing this - or another solution?
Thanks,
BigChimp

I've found a backup of that site using WayBack Machine:
http://wayback.archive.org/web/
The source for DiskBuddy is downloadable at
http://web.archive.org/web/20051111145922/http://koti.mbnet.fi/smiika/downloads/DiskBuddy.zip
The archive is a Rar and not a Zip, so you may have to change extension.

Great - thanks for the update - I'd started to port the previous version but perhaps I'll try again
As for the broken link... well, I found it in an old newsgroup post - you can't really help that
