Answer» Hi, SINCE i am new to computers i had a small doubt on disk FORMATTING. what is the necissity to FORMAT disks? Is it not sufficient for storing the data by deleting the current data? what is internally happened?[TECHNICAL POINT OF VIEW] please provide proper answer.You can only delete so much info/data through Windows or any other OS you are using. If you delete and important system FILE, the OS more than likely wont boot up therefore you have all this extra data on your HD and can't do anything with it until you either replace it or remove it via formatting. Formatting will delete ALL of the data on your HD so that you "start fresh." Quote from: vamsi on June 15, 2007, 01:31:21 AM Is it not sufficient for storing the data by deleting the current data? I don't get what you mean by this SENTENCE???Lets say you wanted to get rid of everything on your 2GB portable flash drive. Instead of having to wait an incredibly long time, you can just format it which would get rid of everything in a few seconds. If i'm not mistaken, formatting also gets rid of IMPURITIES or corrupted segments.One time that you would format is if your HD is infected beyond repair, and contains many holes. Format deletes EVERYTHING (including your OS), which means that you are essentially left with an empty shell. You will have to install your OS again. CD-RW discs (writable discs) need to be blanked before USE. To blank them, most people just format them.Quote from: vamsi on June 15, 2007, 01:31:21 AM Hi, since i am new to computers i had a small doubt on disk FORMATTING. what is the necissity to FORMAT disks?
