What is the difference between a quick format and full format?

A quick format simply erases the file control structures on the partition such as the Master File Table (MFT) on NTFS formatted partitions or the File Allocation Table (FAT) on FAT(32) formatted partitions. A full format also checks the drive for bad sectors and, upon encountering any, adds them to the drives internal list of bad sectors so they will be completely ignored and unused by the file system. When formatting a new disk for the first time or a disk with unknown history it is better to perform a full format. If you are just reinstalling your operating system on a known good drive then a quick format will suffice.
