I am installing four fresh hard drives within this build. Doing a fresh install of Win XP Pro, I need to format the first drive and it offered a 'Quick Format' or something close to regular formatting. I used regular and it has taken an hour and twenty minutes. Is nearby any problem with using the Quick Format? What it is the difference, excluding the time consumed?
Formatting types for concrete drives?
The regular format scan for bad sector, like beside Scandisk/Chkdsk.
When you choose to run a regular format on a volume, files are removed from the volume that you are formatting and the hard disk is scan for bad sector. The scan for bad sector is responsible for the majority of the time that it takes to format a volume.
If you choose the Quick format leeway, format removes files from the partition, but does not scan the disk for impossible sectors. Only use this picking if your hard disk have been previously formatted and you are sure that your not easy disk is not damaged.
I hold just just this minute reformatted as well, and i granted to use the quick.. it took 2 minutes.. no practical joke for a 160gb harddrive.. and as far as im concerned there is no difference at adjectives..
