lowlevel format is a command, its job is to convert all 1's into 0's (binary numbers), actualy its the real format

the one NAMED "format" doesnt really delete files, especialy in NTFS, the HardDrive gets a command not to delete the files but (in a way) to LIE windows that there arent any data.

yes hard to understand, but why? and why is there still free space after u format a drive.
its simple, windows is lied that it has freespace, when u write somethin on the harddrive, u just overwrite the place where the data was before, windows doesnt know/detect that, this makes it even possible to recover data with special software .

lowlevel format takes alot of time, while format just reserves the blocks, so whoever created it, it was logical, coz u cant wait a whole day to lowlevel format a Harddrive just for a new INSTALL of Windows.

i hope i was clear , my englisht isnt really good
