People are still partitioning disk drives after all these years. Now the problem stated here is "format a hard drive." Formatting is easy, and to some techies has a very specific defition. The solution offered here if overkill for "merely formatting," and has some freeware bait, and some more powerful features that you might pay for if you have servers or multiple PCs at home. Still, I'm looking to the free parted Linix LiveCD's that have been doing this kind of thing for free for years, and is constantly updated. It might be all the solution you need, even for partitioning (parted = partition editor). More

Partition Assistant comes in two versions-Standard (free) and Pro ($49). The standard version has everything the average user needs: partition splitting, copying, resizing, creation, deletion, formatting, property changes (e.g., active to inactive), and even secure wiping. I found the Standard version, with its helpful wizards, to give me all the handy features I needed. More

As part of my job, I had to completely erase all the data on a Flash drive after I was done with it. We're taught in our training that formatting the drive through Windows isn't always 100% effective in removing files. The actual data is still on the disk. Although it's not typically accessible, there are recovery programs out there that potential thieves could use to recover this data. I work with confidential data, so it's paramount that we get rid of anything we no longer need ASAP. The program formatted the drive in seconds, and I could start my next project right away without worrying about whether or not the client's data was secure. More

DiskWipe is great for removing all data from your hard drives. I think of that as different from formatting, so I wouldn't put them in the same category. More

This isn't necessarily for formatting. It erases everything! Be careful. I lost a lot of stuff when I used this, but i was my own fault. I should have read the directions better. More
