  • I get doing the relinking of deleted files as an exercise to understand the file system mechanism, but you are doing things the extremely hard way if you are doing that on a real case. Too many tools available to take care of that for you in memory without modifying the disk or image. EnCase, FTK, X-Ways, Autopsy, etc. Commented Nov 13, 2015 at 1:32
  • Still, you might want to store that somewhere other than "in memory". Commented Nov 13, 2015 at 10:14
  • Of course. All of those tools store their work in case files or databases. Commented Nov 13, 2015 at 21:12
