Re: Formatting, partitions & file systems
formatting is a rather complex ordeal and not sure sure if all needs to be digested but here are a few tid bits
partitioning is not file system dependant; partitioning is executed without regard for which file system will be used
the partition setup is nothing more than a map of where the "chunk" starts and where it ends
formatting does not prepare or write to the whole disk space. it too is a map advising the OS and bios how to store bytes of info in 4kb clusters (ntfs) or in larger clusters (fat32)
sorry i cant be of more help than this maybe someone else can ?
