Formatting a Hard Disk?

I be wondering if you formatting a Hard Disk To many times could create it to fail. Thanks

Formatting a Hard Disk?

fitting question.. the answer is that any mode of activity involving the knotty drive "doing" something could cause it to wear out over time, and eventually, to go amiss. Its kind of resembling mileage on a car. Racking up alot of mileage doesn't guarantee that the coup¨| will fail - but the likelihood of it failing are alot higher.
in actual fact no there is zilch wrong with that
Not as long as you format it correctly. Although, respectively time you format it takes up a few megabytes of your HDD. I'm currently out give or take a few 25mb because of that.
No, it won't cause it to come to nothing. It is no worse than saving a giant database on your hard drive.
Hard disks fall short with age. All complex disks die eventually. They used to have an average enthusiasm expectancy of five years.
In referance to likeh4x0r's answer... in my experiance formating doesn't result in size loss on your HD and shouldnt cause you HD to go wrong either. Regular wear and scratch will eventualy kill you HD. So conversation by PERSONAL experiance formating does nothing but clear your HD. Done it similar to a chamilion times.



P.S. I baught a brand new computer and the HD spoilt within 1yr.

I never formated it or moved big files.
