not quite sure but, pero kon ako sa imo mas maayo gyud e normal format nimo para ma check sad niya ang mga sector kon naa ba guba kay sa quick format murag papason lang niya imo FAT (File AllocationTable) ana.

yes i agree.... pls do the conventional formatting. to individually check your drive sectors..... para if in case it cant 100% format your drive, it means to say you got a bad drive.

ayaw nang quick, angay lang ni if nadali pud ka and you are quite sure nga in good shape imong drive.

if you're in a hurry, you can actually do a quick format. then when you're not pressed for time, do a full disk check.
however, since that's a disk to back up all your data, the wait is well worth it.

a quick format initializes a disk's internal structures (FAT, MFT, etc.) that maps the data it stores and in addition, installs a boot sector.

a normal format does the same but in addition, it scans (tests) the entire disk for defects.
