Diskgenius How to format a partition (Quick format)

After a partition is established, it must be formatted for use. The software currently supports the format of file systems such as NTFS, FAT32, FAT16, and FAT12.

First select the partition you want to format as the current partition. Then click the toolbar button "format", or click on the menu "partition-Format the current section" item, or in the section to be formatted to right-click and select the "Format Current section" Item in the pop-up menu. The program pops up the Format Partition dialog box. The following figure:

Select the file system type, cluster size in the dialog box, and then click the "Format" button to prepare the formatting operation when you set the volume label.

You can also choose to scan for bad sectors while formatting, and note that scanning bad sectors is a time-consuming task. Most hard drives, especially new hard disks, do not need to be scanned. If a bad sector is found during the scan, the formatter marks bad sectors that will not be used when the file is created.

For the NTFS file system, you can select the Enable Compression checkbox to enable the disk compression characteristics of NTFS.

If it is a primary partition and the Fat32/fat16/fat12 file system is selected, the Set up DOS system checkbox becomes available. If it is checked, the program will create a DOS system in this partition when the format is complete. Can be used to start a computer.

The program asks for confirmation to prevent an error before starting the format operation. The following figure:

Click the "Yes" button to begin formatting immediately. The program displays the formatting progress. The following figure:

When the format is complete, if you select "Set Up DOS system", the program also copies DOS system files to the partition.
