formatting a drive

You must be careful when formatting a drive, you must always ensure that anything that you want to keep is removed from the drive and stored elsewhere before the formatting process begins on that drive you must also make sure that you are formatting the right drive so
BE CAREFUL!!!


  • First i will select the drive i wish to format this one being the floppy disk drive because im using it specially for this demonstrative purpose. i must first select the floppy disk drive in the my computer menu and right click to bring up the drop down menu, then select format.
  • Once i have selected format in the drop down menu i will be given a screen like the one below, here you should simply choose quick format for an easy format and click start
  • You should be given one last warning before formatting the drive, after this the drive will remove everything on the drive and your screen should come like this with a pop-up message stating that the drive has formatted successfully.
  • Congratulations you have succesfully formatted your drive.
