Quick NTFS Question..

I'd hazard a guess that on the same position the data doesn't actually move at all when moved, just the path to it is redirected for the OS. In different partitions the data is physically copied over to the other partition and deleted from the original.
That is a GUESS.
That is a GUESS.
Moving a file to a different partition effectively creates a new file (same as a copy and delete of original file) on the target which will inherit permissions of the parent folder.
Moving on the same partition simply redirects the file pointer retaining the original permissions.
Its important to understand that because you can accidently deny or grant users access to files when moving across partitions.
