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.

How do you remove an operating system?
Most operating systems can only be removed by formatting the hard drive, and then installing the operating system that you desire. The drawback to this is that you will lose everything that is on that partition of the hard drive. Example : if you have a computer with Windows Vista but you want to put Windows XP on the computer you have to wipe (format) the hard drive in order to load Windows XP. This means saving all your documents to a CD or another hard drive or another partition. If you want to upgrade to a newer operating system then this can be done without losing your information, but some programs may need to be reloaded. Hope this helps. ----
