The effect of formating a harddisk with the Windows operating system is reprogramming the harddrive into the NTFS file system. This system basiaclly assigns sections of the harddrive to save data most efficiently. The quick form of the format simply erases all the data. In BOTH cases all data will be lost and will never be recoverable for the lifetime of the harddrive.

What is the need of formatting hard drive?
Formatting a hard drive is basically making it brand new. When it is formatted, all of the data is cleared. Compare it to your phone. When you got it, you had no pictures, music, or other data on it. After a while, like a hard drive, your phone gains new data and it's not in the same state as it originally was brand new. When it's formatted, it's reset back to default as a hard drive would be and cleared out so that you can reuse it. Formatting is good once in a while.
