Drive Formatting

Drive formatting is a seldom used application that is given to us on the computer. Drive formatting allows the user to clean every piece of information of a drive he selects. You can do this on most electronic storage devices such as DVD-R, CD-RW, Hard drives and memory sticks.

This is a good way to clean up an old computer. Also a good way to get rid of viruses if your anti virus programme cannot take care of it.

To format a drive go to >

Start menu >

My computer >

Right Click on the drive you would like to format

Before you do this make sure you have all the disks to restore your computer and programs. Also make sure you have packed up all personal information as formatting the drive will cause you to lose all data on the hard drive.
