About this tag
The mftr tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Master File Table Records (MFTR) in Windows, particularly issues where these records are overwritten or corrupted. A common scenario involves using disk erasure tools like Eraser on free space, which can damage the MFTR and cause a drive to appear as RAW or inaccessible.
