Destroy it as in crash and burn, or destroy as in erasing all data? It won't break it if thats what you mean, but you will lose everything on that partition.
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean "lose everything on that partition" ? What exist on partition I don't know
ReplyDeleteWhen you format a drive, you lose all the data on it. It is erased. Gone. Forever.

ReplyDeletebecause its better then quick in quick some errors still stay in the hard drive and after you install windows your pc might work slow
ReplyDeleteand it doesnt really matter cuz quick or full both of them erase all the stuff but full is more recommended
quick format only clears the file alocation data whilst full writes each sector to its as new state
it is still possible to recover data from disk after any format but much harder after full
full may find and avoid bad sectors not sure about that these days whilst quick will not even check
full takes a long time and will wear the disk out (allbeit a minute amount) quicker than quick
