SimpleFileSystem

A small project in which a FAT and an I-Node based file system is implemented and showcased.

Project Overview

This project implements two types of file systems: FAT (File Allocation Table) and I-Node based file systems. The project is written in C++ and uses Qt for the graphical user interface.

Features

• FAT File System: Implements a simple FAT file system.
• I-Node File System: Implements a simple I-Node based file system.
• Graphical Interface: Uses Qt to provide a graphical interface for interacting with the file systems.
• Fragmentation and Defragmentation: Supports fragmentation and defragmentation of both FAT and I-Node based file systems.
• CD Burning: Provides functionality to burn data to a CD.

Getting Started

Prerequisites
