Yes, it seems that Microsoft decided to change the NTFS disk
format in W2K, using blocks for metadata but leaving them
marked free in the free block maps.
I have no idea why Microsoft chose to make the w2k version of
NTFS incompatible with earlier (and other) implementations,
but it appears this choice is costing some of their users
their data...
