To identify the file system in use on a particular hard drive, right-click my computer and select EXPLORE. This will display the hard drives installed, along with a number of other options. Right-click the hard drive you are questioning and select PROPERTIES. The file system is shown under the General tab.

What is drive formation?

Drive Formatting is when you prepare the hard drive or other media for use by the operating system and puts a file system on it such as FAT32 or NTFS. The process erases all the data on your hard drive (important to back it up). That way you can use your hard drive for the first time or get to use it again after the data on it becomes severely corrupted or the operating system fails.

How can you make more drive in your system if it has one drive?

By performing file compression. Only do this if absolutely necessary as there may not be enough empty disk space to "expand" the compressed file when you need to view or use it. Additional internal/external hard drives are getting cheaper each year - It might be better to add another hard drive to your system.

When is drive formatting used?

Drive formatting is used when preparing a storage device, such as a hard drive or USB flash drive, for use by an operating system. This process establishes a file system, which organizes how data is stored and retrieved. Formatting is typically done when initializing a new drive, erasing an existing drive to remove data, or changing the file system type. It can also help resolve issues related to drive corruption or performance.


How to format second 80g hard drive for music studio applications and data storage the original 60g hard drive is partitioned for MAC OS9 and OSX?

It depends if you want the drive to be accessible from both OSes. If yes, then research what file system OS9 uses and format it with that. I think it's HFS. You're looking to have a file system on the drive that both OS9 and OSX can read, see? So if there's another file system that you prefer that both can read, you could use that, too. Making the secondary drive HFS+ will suffice. ----
