Explanation:

In computer disk storage, formatting is the process of dividing the disk into tracks and sectors . The disk is divided into tracks, in which each track is further divided into sectors. A sector is a subdivision of a track on a magnetic disk or optical disc. A disk is divided into tracks and sectors when it undergoes a low level format. The tracks are concentric circles around the disk and the sectors are segments within each circle (track). A sector is the smallest individually addressable unit information that is stored on a hard disk. It holds 512 bytes of information. Sectors are the arc shaped pieces of a track.
