Ma^(Did) heshay darawal dibadeed cusub? Mise waxaad raadinaysaa inaad dhibto ama iibiso wadadii hore? Dabadeed, waa fikrad wanaagsan in la tirtiro oo la qaabeeyo. Akhri si aad u barato sida taas loogu sameeyo Microsoft Windows 10 iyo 11.

Marka aad soo iibsato darawal adag oo dibadda ah, SSD (adag-state drive), ama flash stick, fursadaha waa in aad ku xidhi karto Windows PC oo aad isla markiiba isticmaasho. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxaa laga yaabaa inaad weli rabto inaad tirtirto oo aad qaabayso darawalka, si aad u ogaato inaad ku bilaabayso nadiif nadiif ah iyo nidaamka faylka habboon.

Haddii aad hore u isticmaalaysay wadista in muddo ah, habayntu waxay kaa caawin kartaa xalinta arrimaha waxqabadka joogtada ah iyo dhibaatooyinka kale. Waa inaad sidoo kale dib u habayn ku samaysaa wadista oo aad si ammaan ah u tirtirtaa xogtiisa haddii aad qorshaynayso inaad iibiso.

Sida loo tirtiro^(Erasing) loona qaabeeyo Drive-ka gudaha Windows Works

Marka aad ku qaabayso HDD^(HDD) dibadeed , SSD , ama USB flash drive gudaha Windows , nidaamka qalliinka waxa uu xoreeyaa booska saxanka si loogu isticmaalo xog kale. Intaa waxaa dheer, waxay ku socodsiisaa hubinta isku halaynta ee qaybaha wadista waxayna hagaajisaa khaladaadka daran (inkasta oo aysan jirin dammaanad).

Laakiin taasi waa kala badh sawirka. Qaabaynta^(Formatting) ayaa sidoo kale ku siinaysa fursadda ugu habboon ee aad ku hirgelin karto nidaam faylal ku habboon. Taasi waa lama huraan marka aad rabto inaad hubiso in darawalku uu ku habboon yahay aaladaha kale^{(ensure that a drive is compatible with other devices)} . Windows wuxuu kuu ogolaanayaa inaad ku qaabayso drives dibadda ah mid ka mid ah saddexda hab file ee hoose.

NTFS: Nidaamka faylka Windows ee caadiga ah. ^(Windows)NTFS waxa ay taageertaa cabbirrada faylalka waaweyn waxayna bixisaa ammaan aad u wanaagsan, laakiin si buuxda ugama shaqeeyo nidaamyada kale ee hawlgalka marka laga reebo Windows iyo Linux .

FAT32 : Nidaamka faylka Windows ee dhaxalka ah. Si ka duwan NTFS , FAT32 waxa ay leedahay waafaqid balaadhan oo leh nidaamyada hawlgalka intooda badan, laakiin waxay soo rogtaa xadka cabbirka faylka 4GB ama ka yar, waa mid aan la isku halayn karin, mana aha mid ammaan ah.

exFAT: Nidaam faylal ah oo wareegsan oo si fiican u shaqeeya labadaba Windows iyo Apple macOS ee Mac , exFAT waxay ku dhufatay dheelitirnaan heer sare ah oo u dhexeeya iswaafajinta, isticmaalka, iyo amniga.

Waxaad ku qaabayn kartaa wadista adigoo isticmaalaya Utility Format , Console Management Disk , iyo ^{(Disk Management)}Command Prompt ee Windows . Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kaliya Command Prompt ayaa^{(Command Prompt)} kuu ogolaanaya inaad u fuliso FAT32 sida nidaamka faylka ee darawalada ka badan 32GB.

Taasi waxay tidhi, ku qaabaynta darawalka Windows si buuxda uma tirtirto xogtaada. Haddii aad doonayso inaad iibiso darawalka, waa inaad isticmaashaa qalab qaabaynta qolo saddexaad sida Disk Wipe oo si ammaan ah u tirtiri karta dhammaan xogta. Haddii aad cilad-saar ku samaynayso arrimaha wadista^{(troubleshooting for issues on a drive)} , waxa laga yaabaa inaad u baahato inaad ka fikirto socodsiinta utility Check Disk (CHKDSK)^{(running the Check Disk (CHKDSK) utility)} ka hor inta aanad bilaabin.

Digniin: Tirtiridda darawalka ama qaybinta waxay si joogto ah u tirtiri doontaa dhammaan faylasha iyo faylalka. Qaado kayd xog kasta haddii aad rabto inaad wax walba soo celiso ka dib.

How to Erase and Format a Drive in Windows

Did you get a new external drive? Or are you looking to trоubleshoоt or sell an older drive? Then, it’s a good idea to erase and format it. Read on to learn how to do that in Miсrosoft Windows 10 and 11.

When you buy an external hard drive, SSD (solid-state drive), or flash stick, chances are that you can connect it to your Windows PC and use it right away. However, you may still want to erase and format the drive, so that you know you’re starting with a clean slate and an appropriate file system.

If you’ve already been using the drive for some time, formatting can help resolve persistent performance issues and other problems. You must also reformat the drive and securely erase its data if you plan to sell it.

How Erasing and Formatting a Drive in Windows Works

When you format an external HDD, SSD, or USB flash drive in Windows, the operating system frees up the disk space for use by other data. Additionally, it runs reliability checks on drive sectors and fixes severe errors (though there’s no guarantee).

But that’s just half the picture. Formatting also gives you the perfect opportunity to implement a suitable file system. That’s essential when you want to ensure that a drive is compatible with other devices. Windows allows you to format external drives with one of the three file systems below.

NTFS: The default Windows file system. NTFS supports large file sizes and provides excellent security, but it doesn’t fully work on alternative operating systems besides Windows and Linux.

FAT32: A legacy Windows file system. Unlike NTFS, FAT32 features wider compatibility with most operating systems but imposes file size limits of 4GB or less, is less reliable, and is not as secure.

exFAT: An all-round file system that works well on both Windows and Apple macOS for Mac, exFAT strikes an excellent balance between compatibility, usability, and security.

You can format a drive via the Format utility, Disk Management console, and Command Prompt in Windows. However, only the Command Prompt lets you implement FAT32 as the file system on drives that exceed 32GB.

That said, formatting a drive in Windows doesn’t completely wipe your data. If you intend to sell the drive, you must use a third-party formatting tool such as Disk Wipe that can securely delete all data. If you’re troubleshooting for issues on a drive, you might want to consider running the Check Disk (CHKDSK) utility before you start.

Warning: Erasing a drive or partition will permanently delete all files and folders. Take a backup of any data if you want to restore everything afterward.

Erase and Format a Drive in Windows Using Format Utility

The Format utility, which you can access via File Explorer, is the most convenient way to erase and format external drives in Windows. You can also decide if you want to speed things up by performing a quick format.

1. Open File Explorer and switch to the This PC tab on the sidebar. Then, right-click the external hard disk, SSD, or flash drive you want to format and select Format on the drop-down menu.

2. Adjust the following settings on the Format dialog:

File system: Switch between the NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT file systems. FAT32 is not available for drives that exceed 32GB.

Allocation unit size: Define the minimum unit size of each data block on your drive. The default selection changes depending on the file system you select—e.g., 128 kilobytes for exFAT. Learn more about allocation unit size.

Volume label: Replace the default name if you want to have an easier time identifying the drive from other external media. A custom volume label will also appear on other devices and operating systems.

Quick Format: Leave the box checked if you want to erase and format the drive quickly. Clear it if you’re troubleshooting the drive.

Note: Select the Restore device defaults button if you want to revert to the default selections for the drive.

3. Select Start > OK. You should be done in seconds if you choose the Quick Format option.

Erase and Format a Drive in Windows Using Disk Management

The Disk Management console is a versatile utility that allows you to manage drives, volumes, and partitions in Windows. It also allows you to format drives quickly. Use it if an external drive fails to appear in File Explorer.

1. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run box. Then, type diskmgmt.msc, and press Enter.

2. Right-click the drive under the Volumes section and select Format.

3. Add a volume label, pick a file system, and specify the allocation unit size. Additionally, clear the box next to Perform a quick format intact if you want Disk Management to perform a full format. Then, select OK.

Note: If you’re formatting a drive with the NTFS file system, you can check the box next to Enable file and folder compression to compress files and folders you add by default. However, that can adversely impact performance.

4. Select OK again to confirm.

Erase and Format a Drive in Windows Using Command Prompt

Alternatively, you can use the Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell consoles to format a drive in Windows. It’s the best option if you want to format drives that exceed 32GB natively in FAT32.

1. Open the Start menu, type cmd, and select Open as administrator to open the Command Prompt console. If you prefer Windows PowerShell, right-click the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin).

2. Run the diskpart command to load the DiskPart command-line tool.

3. Run the list disk command to load a list of drives on your computer.

4. Type select disk [disk number], replacing [disk number] with the number of the drive you want to format. Use the Size column to identify the correct number. Press Enter to select the drive.

5. Run the clean command to erase all data on the drive.

6. Type create partition primary and press Enter to partition the drive.

7. Type format fs=fat32 label=[drive name]. Replace fat32 with the file system you want and [drive name] with a drive label. Then, press Enter.

8. Type assign and press Enter to assign a drive letter for the drive.

9. Type exit and press Enter to quit DiskPart.

Securely Erase and Format a Drive in Windows Using Disk Wipe

If you want to erase an external drive securely, you can use a free third-party formatting tool called Disk Wipe. It lets you run various erasing patterns to prevent file recovery tools from retrieving your data.

1. Download and launch Disk Wipe. Then, choose the drive you want to format and select the Wipe Disk button.

2. Select a file system—NTFS, FAT, or FAT32. Then, select Next.

3. Select an erasing pattern. For example, you can overwrite the storage device’s contents with a single pass of zeros or use sophisticated data wiping techniques such as the Peter Guttman method. Note that using methods with multiple passes can take a long time to complete.

4. Type ERASE ALL and select Finish.

5. Select Yes to confirm.

Disk Wipe aside, you can rely on various other formatting tools and apps such as DBan, KillDisk, and Eraser to securely erase drives. Here’s a complete list of free programs that can completely wipe a drive in Windows.
