I keep mixing up the Master File Table and the File Allocation Table. I think the Master File Table is the right one for NTFS.

I feel like we covered this in class, and I want to say it's the System File Table, but that might be for something else.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. NTFS is a file system, and it needs a way to organize and track all the files. The Master File Table sounds like it could be the right answer, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know NTFS has some kind of table system, but I can't remember the exact name. I'll have to think this through carefully.

The Master File Table? More like the Mastered File Table, am I right? Seriously though, it's the right answer.

The System File Table? What is this, some kind of government spy operation? Nah, gotta be the Master File Table.

I was sure it was the File Allocation Table, but that's for the FAT file system. NTFS is more sophisticated, with the Master File Table.
