Question

differentiate between " Formatting a text document and Formatting a storage device".

Answer 1

1. format is when you format it. Reformat is just when you RE-format it. Format it AGAIN
2. Formatting a disk does not erase the data on the disk, only the address tables. It makes it much more difficult to recover the files. ... For some businesses and individual users, a disk format may be something you consider secure enough, depending, of course, on the type of data and information you saved to your computer.
3. To format a drive (hard disk, floppy disk, flash drive, etc.) means to prepare the chosen partition on the drive to be used by an operating system by deleting all of the data and setting up a file system. ... In Windows, formatting a partition is usually done from the Disk Management tool.
4. exFAT is optimized for flash drives—designed to be a lightweight file system like FAT32, but without the extra features and over head of NTFS and without the limitations of FAT32. Like NTFS, exFAT has very large limits on file and partition sizes., allowing you to store files much larger than the 4 GB allowed by FAT32.

Answer 2

Answer:

Formatting a text document means you are editing in the document. Whereas formatting a storage device means that you are changing and making better the storage device that you are using. These two are completely different processes but the idea to format is just the same. And that formatting a storage device may sound different in different storage devices. Like hard-disk and CD
