NoVirusThanks Drive Formatter1.0.0.0

Although Windows has built-in options for formatting drives, you might be interested in extra features. NoVirusThanks Drive Formatter is a tool that successfully combines practicality with ease of use when it comes to formatting drives.Wrapped in a clean and intuitive interface, the program doesn't require previous experience with disk formatting software. It automatically detects your logical drives at startup and gives you the possibility to select the one you want to format as well as to refresh changes if any changes were made in the meantime (for example, when inserting a formattable flash drive into the PC after firing up this app).

Check logical drives for errors before format

Before proceeding with the format, it's a good idea to let NoVirusThanks Drive Formatter check the disk to find out any errors, attempt to correct them, and locate bad sectors. You can also find out your current filesystem this way.Unless you know what you're doing when it comes to filesystem conversion, you should choose the same output filesystem as the original one. Otherwise, you can pick from FAT (for drives under 32GB), FAT32 (for drives over 32GB), exFAT, and NTFS.

Set the filesystem and volume label

Optionally, you can set a volume label to identify the drive easier. Since any existing data will be wiped out, the program asks for confirmation before proceeding with the format job. The quick format method is used by default but you can go with the secure option which runs multiple passes and is slower.When it comes to the disk checkup, you can disable verbosity mode and prevent the tool from attempting to fix any disk errors, checking if the volume is dirty, or scanning for bad sectors. Furthermore, NoVirusThanks Drive Formatter can create a log file with all activity and shut down the PC as soon as it finishes disk formatting. This comes in handy if you plan to leave the PC unattended and return later to inspect results.

Intuitive and practical drive formatter for casual users

All aspects considered, NoVirusThanks Drive Formatter delivers useful options in a nicely wrapped package. It's a good starting point of users who wish to learn how drive formatting works.
