hi all
i am trying to access NTFS file system during boot time

can i just go thru the cluster datarun entries in the $INDEX_ALLOCATION
(0xA0) attribute and access all INDEX RECORDS belonging to directory or
do i have to go thru the b+ tree to traverse entire directory.

I have written a small program that takes datarun entries from oxA0 and
traverses a directory .
it works well in WINXP
but not in WIN2000

can any one suggest whats the problem

regards
sushil
