What is a low-level format?


An initial formatting of a hard drive, which initializes the physical tracks on the surface or the internal data carriers!



Typically, used computers or drives run a low-level format on the hard drive before the drive is sold with the computer. A low-level format is not something the drive owner is required to do, but it will prevent files from being recovered!

If a hard drive cannot be formatted, or if you need information on how to run a low-level format, a tool can be run that will overwrite the free space on the hard drive!

More technical:  ... de.wikipedia.org ... formatting

The free area of the hard disk partition will be filled with RANDOM NUMBERS. And the selected option will be started!
