Yeah, I know what it's supposed to do....
Don't believe everything you hear or read about NTFS - especially when 
it's from Microsoft. 
You need to read the Microsoft Newsgroups regarding NT.  It's not as 
"self repairing" as MS says it is, however, I don't want to get into a 
which is better "NTFS or FAT" so it's best to drop this.
