What is the difference between deleting the data from a floppy disk and formatting the disk?
When you delete a file on a filesystem all that is really done is that the disk "forgets" where the data is stored. It remains on the disk until it is overwritten. Formatting is a more technical term than most people understand. A common misconception is that formatting is simply deleting all data on a disc. In fact formatting is more of a "reconfiguration" of the disk. Formatting is the process where a system of data storage is applied to the disk. As a bi-product of this the system which remembered the layout of the origonal data is replaced and therefore the data inaccessible. It is however a common feature of most formatting tools to physically destroy the data as part of the formatting process.
Did formatting system repeatedly damages system?
yes it does damages the system because the hard disk gets worn out by formatting again and again.
How do you remove a partition on a hard drive running Windows 98 without reformatting the hard disk?

Should you format a usb flash drive every time you want to take information off or just delete the files?
You should not format a USB flash drive every time you want to take information off it; simply deleting the files is typically sufficient for regular use. Formatting erases all data on the drive and resets the file system, which is unnecessary if you're just looking to remove specific files. However, formatting may be useful if you're experiencing issues with the drive or need to prepare it for a different file system. In general, deleting files is quicker and preserves the drive's structure.

What are the disadvantages of Formatting a Hard Disk.In a FlashorEEPROMa fixed number of Erase opns are possible and hence formatting a flash is costlier.Does the same logic apply for Hard Disk too.?
Basically formatting means it deletes all the information on the disk. Now let me point out the difference between deletion and formatting. In the case of deletion only File Allocation Table [FAT] is getting changed. That is why deletion takes place fast and we are able to undelete from Recyclebin. When we edit documents, information on hard disk is changed. The only difference between this and formatting is that during formatting that particular partition is completely rewritten. Two more points to answer your question 1. Shift + Del is equivalent to deleting bytes on the hard disk ( the operation performed during formating) 2. Will your hard disk damage if you constantly Shift + deleted your files on the system? Hence, without fear keep formatting your HDD as many time you need, to do it to get rid of those virus files developed by some foolish software engineers.
