NTFS TuneUp is the smartest way to optimize your NTFS for Windows XP.

Windows XP includes a tool called Disk CleanUp, unfortunately when you use it, you dont know whats happening "behind the scenes".

With NTFS TuneUp you can customize the way the NTFS optimization takes place.

NTFS-3G is a powerful tool, a read-write NTFS file-system driver. This means we can finally write to memory sticks larger than 4GB (formatted with NTFS).

Here are some key features of "NTFS 3G":

· Ability to format NTFS volumes via diskutil
· Automatic read-write mounting of NTFS volumes
· Customizable locale settings on a per-volume basis
· An opt-out solution for volumes you want mounted read-only via Apples NTFS driver.
· Waits for MacFUSE mounted notification prior to handing drives to Finder.

What is NTFS TuneUp NTFS TuneUp - is a smart tool which allows you to manage the NTFS compression of your drives, it can be used as a replacement for the Microsoft Windows Disk CleanUp tool but certainly has more features, it is more customizable and does not freezes your PC. NTFS TuneUp features Let you choose between 3 optimization modes (both compression/decompression, compression only or decompression only)

ntfs-3g driver is an open source, GPL licensed, third generation Linux NTFS driver for 32-bit, little-endian architectures which was implemented by the Linux-NTFS project. It provides full read-write access to NTFS, excluding access to encrypted files, writing compressed files, changing file ownership, access right.

Technically its based on and a major improvement to the third generation Linux NTFS driver, ntfsmount. The improvements includes functionality, quality and performance enhancements.

The driver currently is in BETA status: before release of this software we havent experienced any driver crashes or data loss during our heavy quality testing, however we are aware of some minor issues which will be resolved in the near future. We listed all of them in a below section.

Installation:

Make sure you have the basic Linux development tools and FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net) is correctly installed on your computer then type:

./configure
make
make install # or sudo make install if you arent root.

Usage:

If there was no error during installation then you can mount NTFS volumes for read-write access (unmount them if they were already mounted by another NTFS driver.)

ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

If you want to give full access for all users, ignore permission related driver messages, and make national characters visible then use (drop or replace the below hu_HU.utf8 with the appropriate setting, and also the device and mount points, if needed).

ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -o silent,umask=0,locale=hu_HU.utf8

Please see the ntfs-3g manual page for more options and examples.

You can also make NTFS to be mounted during boot by ensuring that the FUSE kernel module is automatically loaded and by putting the below line into /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=hu_HU.utf8 0 0

Many modern Linux users experience great inconveniencies because different operating systems have different standards on data storage. Family of secure operating systems from Microsoft Windows NT, 2000 and XP use their own file system, NTFS. Unfortunately Microsoft still has not opened technical information about NTFS to publicity. That is why open society of Linux developers still does not have solid support for this file system.

Our company has applied all our knowledge of file systems and operating systems to produce a product called NTFS for Linux . This product gives transparent access to any NTFS drive into Linux operating system through regular mount function. So you and any application can browse these drives, read and change files, copy and create new files and folders. Everything absolutely transparently just like with native ext2fs, ext3fs or reiserfs file system.

Additionally, you not only can install NTFS access driver into Linux operating system, but you can also use bootable CD included in the product to access NTFS volumes. This CD is very helpful in emergency cases of unbootable systems you can boot your system with this CD and access NTFS and Linux volumes with read and write access take important documents or change configuration files to rescue system.

Here are some key features of "NTFS for Linux":

· Transparent access to all contents of NTFS volumes
· Supporting all NTFS versions 1.2, 3.0 and 3.1 (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP)
· Supporting compressed files and folders
· Special installation script for fast and easy driver installation
· Choose Linux type to configure correctly startup services
· Access to files with more than 2 Gb
· Supporting files and folders with security permissions
· Bootable CD with possibility to access NTFS and Linux volumes and write data directly on CD/DVD discs (if CD/DVD writing device is available)
· Supports Chinese, Japanese and other Linux Localizations

NTFS Undelete description
NTFS Undelete is a free software that allows you to recover deleted files NTFS Undelete is a freeware application which will allow you to recover deleted files. It recovers files directly from hard drive, and it will work even if you empty Recycle Bin.

Before downloading NTFS Undelete, please consider the following:
When you delete a file, its content physically remains intact on the media, but the occupied space becomes marked as free. Next file saved to the disk may overwrite the contents of the deleted file.

It is very important to make sure that no application writes to the drive or partition where deleted file is located since every new file (even a small one) may overwrite the deleted file.

Since deleted files recovery is a very delicate process, we provide our software executable files bundled in different ways.

You can choose the method of installation according to your specific situation.

Windows Installer
Installer will set up NTFS Undelete on your computer. This is the easiest way to install NTFS Undelete; however, installer can be used only when the files you want to undelete are not located on the system disk (usually disk "C:").

If deleted files are located on the system disk, then you should choose different method of installation.

ISO Image
This ISO image can be burned to a CD or DVD disk on any computer. Then just insert the disk to the computer where deleted files are located, and NTFS Undelete will start automatically.

This method of installation is preferred when files you need to undelete are located on the system disk.

ZIP Archive
If you are sure about location where you can unpack executables of NTFS Undelete without damaging files you wish to undelete, choose this option.

Download and unzip files to a folder, then run the executable file. Also, you can extract this archive to an external media (such as USB flash stick) on another computer and then run the software on the destination computer.

Requirements:

· Microsoft Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista
· NTFS file system

iUndelete is an easy to use, read-only file recovery utility to quickly and safely recover data that was deleted from a NTFS drive.
