Format Partitions

To format a partition:

1. Select a hard disk and a partition.

2. Click Partitions > Format.

3. Type the label you want in the Partition Label text box.

4. Select the file system type to be created on a partition after formatting from the Partition Type drop-down list. (FAT/FAT32, NTFS). If the partition is too small or too large, some partition types may not be available.

5. Choose the Cluster Size (512 bytes, 1,2,4...64KB) from drop-down list.

Note:

Smaller cluster size makes less wasting of disk space.

The smaller cluster size is, the bigger file allocation table (FAT) will be. The bigger the FAT is, the slower the operation system works with the disk.

Click OK to confirm that you want to format the partition. Then you will create a pending formatting operation.

Attention:

Partition formatting operation destroys all the data on this partition, including files and folders! Take special care when performing this operation.

If you find can not access your drive after formatted, you may get data back with our Unformat Tool.
