If you need to be formatted (without reinstalling Windows) one of the local disks or partitions, which is sometimes divided into your hard drive, then follow our prompts. Open a "computer", we look at the presence of discs and quantity, for example, they turned out as many as four.

Let's format the selected disk, and let it be a "disc F" - in our case it is not the main one, but with a small amount contains many unnecessary information from which you want to get rid of once. By clicking on the "F" disk and select the "Format" command from the list. Next, without changing the size of the cluster, set the "NTFS" file system and activate "Fast Formatting". We expect some time - as a result, it turned out clean, though the surface formatted disk.

If you want to format and then, we do in a similar way with all other disks, including removable, if any connected to a laptop. True, there is one nuance - the main system disk (usually this c) cannot be formatted directly in the system.

If you need to format the system disk - it means that you have decided to completely reinstall on your Windows portable device. Most likely, you already have a new operating system recorded on the carrier. Load From this disk and, holding the commands along the work of the "Installation Wizard" when allocating the system partition, activate the "Format" item. Next, you will already be installed on clean disk.

Using third-party software, with which work with disks is performed - this is "Acronis Disk Director" as an option. It may be a challenging, but very effective program of this topic. Download Acronis, if it turns out, along with the user manual, is useful in the future, and install the program on the laptop.

As for formatting - everything is very simple. In the main window of the program, choose the desired disk and click on it with the right mouse. Go down to the "Format" item, naturally, everything will go to the NTFS system. We are waiting for the end of the process - on bulk disks it is quite a long time.

If the disk formatting happened randomly, then you do not need to be afraid. Data cannot be destroyed physically, and experienced programmers can easily pull out information even with formatted sections. However, copies of important files are better to duplicate and save in a safe place.
