    Rebuild the Master File Table


    Can the Master File Table (MFT) for a hard disk be rebuilt? Check Disk reports the MFT and it's mirror image are corrupted. This is a 2 TB disk that has Windows 7 System disk BACKUP on it and over 100 Windows Media Center TV hour programs on it. I checked with Microsoft TechNet and they said the only thing I could is reformat the Disk.

I remember seeing a tweak about changing the MFT from the default DWORD 1 (12.5%) up to 4 (50%), but this was a long time ago. I'd assume changing it's size has some effect on system speed if you were closing in on max space, but lets say on an SSD would it even be wise to consider changing it's...
