x86 기반 시스템의 NTFS 아키텍쳐 컴포넌트

Hard disk - Contains one or more partitions.
 
Boot sector -  Bootable partition that stores information about the layout of the volume and the file system structures, as well as the boot code that loads Ntdlr.

Ntfs.sys -  System file driver for NTFS.
 
Ntoskrnl.exe -  Extracts information about which system device drivers to load and the load order.
