Formatting a storage medium
![]() | CAUTION: After a storage medium is formatted, all files and directories on it are erased and cannot be restored. | |
To format a storage medium that has been partitioned, you must format all the partitions individually, instead of formatting the medium as a whole. You can format a storage medium only when no one is accessing the medium.
