#46 True or False

                People always say Format a hard disk for many times will damage the hard disk. Almost every one says that and I feel that is logic also. So I believe it, I think you are same with me.

But now, I have to say “Format will not damage your hard disk”.

Why?

Let me explain what is Format, and then you might agree with me.

There are several ways to Format. 

The most usual is Quick Format and Format that you can do on Windows

. We will discuss these 2 ways here.

Actually Quick Format is a process only delete and create the Master Boot Record of the hard disk. It will not delete the data inside the hard disk. 

That’s why people can recover data even though you Formatted your hard disk.

On the other hand, Format will do the same thing with Quick Format and also Check Disk. It will try to recover bad sector. If the sector cannot be recovered, 

this process will mark it as bad and try to remove your data to reserve sector.

So, come back here. After you understand Format, do you think Format will damage your hard disk?

 or you think Format is good for you hard disk now?

Conclusion: When everyone is talking about a crooked, it will become truth.

总结: 当每个人都在说一个歪理 ，它会成为道理。
