For those who are not sure what is formatting, formatting is a procedure that allows you to prepare your storage device, whether a hard drive, SSD, USB flash drive, or memory card, to use a specific file system. This file system helps the operating system organize, read, write, and manage files on the storage device. The procedure of formatting could be done while preparing a new disk, changing its file system compatibility, or using it for something else. But formatting would render your files unreachable, thus it is important to back up all the important data before formatting it. If some files were lost while the drive was being formatted, do not use this storage device anymore and choose a recovery option. Notchox could be used to recover software data that has been lost.
