Essence of fomatting partition
In daily life, formatting means high-level formatting to partitions. Correspondingly, there is
low-level formatting, these two are completely different operations. Here, we only talk
about high-level formatting. When users execute high-level formatting to a certain partition,
it's not to simlpely delete all the files from the partition. Actually, high-level formatting has
plenty of of functions. It can be said that high-level formatting is operation in allusion to file
system. When you use Format command to execute high-level formatting to partitions,
mainly tasks includes below items:
1. Logically number the sectors from cylinder specified by each logical drive.
2. Create Dos Boot Record on basic partition.
3. Establish file allocation table on each logical drive.
4. Set up file drictory table and DATA conrresponding to root drictory.
The reason why high-level formatting causes entire files loss from partitions is that it
executes initialization operation to DBR, FAT, FDT and DATA accoding to specified file
systems. However, the initialization operation never means formatted files in the partition
permanently disappear from the disk. During initialization operation, operating system
empties file index, which prevents operating system from finding files from the partitions.
But it doesn't mean other software can not find these files. Meanwhile, operating system
doesn't perform any operations to data area, so these lost files caused by formatting are
still stored in hard disk partitions. This is the reason why files on partition which has been
executed high-level formatting can be recovered.
