o quick format só te apaga (limpa) a fat do hdd, dai ser tão rápido. O format "normal" além de limpar a fat apaga todos os dados fisicamente.
Ainda tens o low level format, que antigamente (drives muito antigas) era mesmo um low level format, agora continuam a chamar-lhe isso mas na realidade só são feitas as seguintes operações:
Drive Recognition Test: Lets you test to see if the software can "see" the drive. This is the first step in ensuring that the drive is properly installed and connected.
Display Drive Details: Tells you detailed information about the drive, such as its exact model number, firmware revision level, date of manufacture, etc.
Test For Errors: Analyzes the entire surface of the hard disk, looking for problem areas (bad sectors) and instructing the integrated drive controller to remap them.
Zero-Fill: Wipes off all data on the drive by filling every sector with zeroes. Normally a test for errors (as above) is done at the same time.
Cmps.
