This is an external command, used to format the disk. Formatting is that process by which the path for the data and program storage is marked in cylindrical and crossed lines. The cylindrical lines form tracks and crossed line form the sectors.

Answer:

hey mate here is your answer .....

Disk formatting is the process of preparing a data storage device such as a hard disk drive, solid-state drive, floppy disk or USB flash drive for initial use. In some cases, the formatting operation may also create one or more new file systems.Formatting the hard drive is a bit more secure than simply erasing the files.

Formatting a disk does not erase the data on the disk, only the address tables. ... However a computer specialist would be able to recover most or all the data that was on the disk before the reformat.

When you format the hard drive or delete some files manually, the files are actually not deleted. The operating system simply marks that area as deleted so that it can be overwritten easily. The formatted external hard drive will not show any files on your screen but they may still be available for use.
