Formatting a hard drive is the process of deleting all the data on the hard drive and setting up a file system so that data can be written to and read from the drive. Formatting a hard drive will erase all data stored on the drive, so it is important to back up any important data before formatting the drive. Formatting a hard drive can be done in Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
