Formatting Hard Disk or Removable Disk

There are two ways of formatting your hard disk or removable disk- i) Normal or Default Formatting and ii) Quick Formatting.

Default Formatting:This process of formatting is slow and low level formatting but your system remove all data from the partition with scanning the bad sectors. Your system can fix bad sector also.

Quick Formatting:This process of formatting is more speedy then default formatting that you can save time. Your system only remove the data but it does not scan the disk for bad sector and cannot fix them.

It is recommanded that you should choose the default formatting for your disk health. If you sure about the health of your hard disk or removable disk you may select quick formatting to save time. Otherwise, default formatting should be chosen.
