What happens in the master file table when a file is stored?

When a file is stored on a NTFS file system, the Master File Table (MFT) is updated to include an entry for that file. This entry contains metadata about the file, including its name, size, creation date, and its location on the disk. Additionally, the MFT keeps track of the file's attributes, such as permissions and other properties. As files are added, modified, or deleted, the MFT is continually updated to reflect these changes.
