And what about this:
"A full format also performs a chkdsk along with removing the table, a quick format just removes the table."
"full scans for bad sectors. i always do a full format. it doesn't take too long on my small windows partition"
"another difference between quick format and full format is that full format removes everything, while quick format only deletes the root folder and FAT (file allocation table). deleting the fat has the effect that your pc doesn't find the files on your hard disk any more, but they are still there. but because your pc doesn't find them any more, it just writes over them... "
