Yes all drivers are deleted ..as is all other programes on the the hard drive.

Basically you are starting with a blank canvas. All that remains is the information required by the computer to start. no programs or operating system Ensure all important information stored on the hard disk is backed up before formatting. After formatting it is advisable to install the most up to date drivers available for the respective hardware.

Can you recover data from a failing hard drive by putting it in the freezer?

When you delete your data off of a hard drive such as photos or file, they are not actually deleted from the hard drive. The hard drive marks the space where those files were stored as available or free and new data can overwrite your deleted photos or files. There is a tool called Nice To Recover for MacOS which you are able to download and it will help to restore those deleted files or folders.

What happens to deleted files The file was originally on your C partition of hard-drive will the files remain on that partition or can they sometimes be stored on the D partition?

First, they would not be on the "D" drive. The "D" drive is a small partition created when Windows is installed and only contains the basic information of Windows. Files that are :deleted, aren't really deleted until at sometime the area that they take up on the hard drive are written over. There is some software out there, Active UNDelete is one, that can help recover files that nave been deleted IF they are still intact on the hard drive.
