Some formatting utilities allow distinguishing between a quick format, which does not erase all existing data and a long option that does erase all existing data.Īs a general rule, formatting a disk by default leaves most if not all existing data on the disk medium some or most of which might be recoverable with privileged or special tools. In some operating systems all or parts of these three processes can be combined or repeated at different levels and the term "format" is understood to mean an operation in which a new disk medium is fully prepared to store files. The third part of the process, usually termed "high-level formatting" most often refers to the process of generating a new file system. Partitioning is the common term for the second part of the process, dividing the device into several sub-devices and, in some cases, writing information to the device allowing an operating system to be booted from it. The first part of the formatting process that performs basic medium preparation is often referred to as "low-level formatting".
In some cases, the formatting operation may also create one or more new file systems.
