Long ago I had an amazing computer hardware lecture session, at the end of which the tutor failed to answer one simple question I had asked - "What is the difference between format and quick format option ?"
Now Google has helped me find the answer to that same question. Do you want to know too? Then read on.
The difference lies in checking the disk for bad sectors which is not performed in a quick format. But in a normal format, the majority of the time is consumed by the process of scanning bad sectors.
So perform a quick format when you are sure that your hard disk is devoid of bad sectors. Otherwise if data is written on bad sectors, you will soon suffer data loss.
