If one performs a "Low Level Reformat" the data will remain intact for the most part. This kind of reformatting is the next to the last resort of solving suspected PC hard drive problems.
If one performs a complete reformatting, all data will be lost.
Hard disk formatting means preparing new space for data storage. This is by creating tracks and sectors in the disk.
It wipes out data on the hard drive disk.
Data recovery disasters could include accidentally deleting files on one's hard disk, accidentally formatting a partition on one's hard drive, physical damage of the hard disk as well as computer viruses affecting the disk.
look at it
No, formatting just writes to the disk. It destroys any existing data and marks all blocks as "available". If the disk was OK before, it's still OK, just blank.
Formatting your hard disk for the PS3 will erase everything on it. If you are adding a hard disk to your PS3 it will prepare the drive for the system.
There is difference between SATA and PATA HDD but no difference between the formatting..
Basically formatting means it deletes all the information on the disk. Now let me point out the difference between deletion and formatting. In the case of deletion only File Allocation Table [FAT] is getting changed. That is why deletion takes place fast and we are able to undelete from Recyclebin. When we edit documents, information on hard disk is changed. The only difference between this and formatting is that during formatting that particular partition is completely rewritten. Two more points to answer your question 1. Shift + Del is equivalent to deleting bytes on the hard disk ( the operation performed during formating) 2. Will your hard disk damage if you constantly Shift + deleted your files on the system? Hence, without fear keep formatting your HDD as many time you need, to do it to get rid of those virus files developed by some foolish software engineers.
Low level formatting is a hard disk operation that should make recovering data from your storage devices.
yes it does damages the system because the hard disk gets worn out by formatting again and again.
you copy all the original files to a another hard disk or flash drive before formatting the disk with the original files
You nuke it. XD
