Reasons to format Dell® Inspiron 545

What are the advantages of formatting Dell Inspiron 545?

Usually a hard drive is divided into two or more partitions. The first partition is called primary partition and operating system and driver files are saved in the primary partition. Remaining space of the hard drive is known as extended partition and it is divided into one or more logical drives and a user can save data on it. The primary partition is formatted during operating system installation and to format all other drives, you can just right-click on them and click on ‘Format’. Dell Inspiron 545 has got a recovery tool which automatically formats the primary partition and re-installs the operating system. You can either start the recovery process by pressing Ctrl+F11, or by using the recovery CD provided by Dell. So, there is no need to manually format the hard drive unless you have changed the default operating system and partition structure.

• Benefits
• Consequences

Need

There are many issues like virus issues, Operating System file corruption and Operating System crashes that you may come across when you use a computer. There are many tools and options to fix these issues, but sometimes you might need to re-format the hard drive to erase all the information from the hard drive and re-install the Operating system.

Benefits

Formatting a hard drive erases everything from the hard drive which helps to remove all stubborn viruses, and makes the hard drive work as it is new. A File Allocation Table (FAT) is stored on the hard drive which holds information about the partition. Sometimes, you cannot access a partition due to corruption of FAT. So, formatting the hard drive will fix the issues with FAT and make the partition work perfectly like before.

Even though formatting hard drive fixes lots of issues, it erases all the data from the hard drive. So, you need to back-up all your data before you proceed with formatting a hard drive. All the driver programs and installed applications will be wiped out and you need to re-install them. Your Internet accounts, e-mail settings and Internet favorites will be lost and you need to re-configure and reset them.
