    Well first the IFS kit doesn't have any NTFS data in it, the kit is also now
    $899, it has always been less than $1000. On "free IFS header" this is not
    only a piece of shit that is worthless, but also it should not be encouraged
    since "the owner" has approached a lot of people to try to get interfaces
    from the IFS kit, which has a legal agreement attached.

    The original poster should take a look at the data in "Inside Microsoft
    Windows 2000" by Solomon and Russinovich.
