NTFS also worked up until Win95 and its brothers. AND, if you look at
the code for Win2KPro and XPPro, you will find a ton of things such as
ntfs.sys and it's brothers. In a windows system, set yourself into
either the WINNT or the WINDOWS directory in a command prompt (CMD.EXE)
window (commonly called the DOS window). Then, enter:

dir *ntfs* /s > allntsffiles

Then examine the allntsffiles file which will be in the current
directory when it finishes.
