As for "free" options, there was a diskedit program that came inside sp4 for Windows NT 4.0. It had an MFT walker. For what it's worth, I've found the disk editors at www.runtime.org cost effective and very close in function to the old Norton diskedit (and they run in Windows). I use them all the time to make the same repairs I used to make with the Norton product. I know it understands the MFT as well.

I have several students in my Introduction to Computer Forensics class that would like additional material and exposure on using the old Norton Diskedit. I'd appreciate any information that my fellow examiners and/or instructors could provide, such as URL's or recommendations on books. We use the program to teach basics of how information is stored when using FAT, as well as how to use some of the basic features for forensic examinations. I'd also love to hear how any of you are using this old workhorse of a program. As well, any good tools out there for viewing the MFT under NTFS?
