Drive formatting involves creating a new file system on a storage device that will allow the operating system to utilize the space for storing files. Formatting a drive will erase the current file system on it such that the files stored on it become inaccessible. Quick format does not involve immediately overwriting all areas of the disk space and therefore if nothing has been written to it after that, then it is still possible to recover the information. When formatting a drive which holds essential files like pictures, documents, or videos among others, it is advisable to recover the information first before proceeding. Notchox comes in handy in this case.
