You can also Restore device defaults in case your custom settings aren't working. The formatting options you can customize are File system, Allocation unit size, Volume label, and Format options. Right-click the drive, and select Format. Its faster to just erase/invalidate the partition, create a new partition, and MAYBE verify sectors instead of doing a real format and then verifying. Open Windows File Explorer and go to This PC (aka Computer or My Computer ). I prefer the 35 pass called Gutmann method. The only way to truly erase a disk is to have it do a 0 write pass. Just log into your system and open the Terminal window through the Dash. I would hope that this utility, DiskPart, issuing its "clean" command actually does more than clear the data partition info. We can easily format our drive via the Terminal. It's possible to recover the data with a little work, primarily on the "folders."
Format just basically wipes the file data/directory/folder content, not the data elsewhere on the drive. While I cannot guarantee this article does exactly what it claims it does (I haven't tried it, let alone heard about this way before) I can speak for the way format works now days.ĭrives come pretty much preformatted now days as to its sectors and such. 21240634 said:Am I missing something? Couldn't you just bring up a command prompt and type "format e:" - or some other drive letter?
