If it's not, the format program tries to relocate the file and updates the index to show the new location. It only compares the index to the actual location of the file and makes sure the file is readable. But even in that case, it doesn't check each and every storage location. But there are times when it will detect a problem and definitely will prompt you to do a disk check. Windows didn't necessarily find a problem and but gave you the open during a fresh install to ensure the drive is ready. Of course, an SSD would be quicker than an HDD, but still could take a significant amount of time.
Especially now, in the era of multigigabyte drives. It only takes a few seconds.īut when you choose full, and depending on the size of the drive, it could take hours or good parts of a day for it to check each and every storage location on the disk. No other parts of the disk are actually checked.
They simply wipe the disk's file index table where all the information about where your files are located. Most formating routines are set to 'quick'.
