Received a new HDD yesterday. Performed a non-quick format on it. When I went to bed it was nearly finished, but when I woke up this morning my PC had crashed (I'm not blaming the drive here my PC is a work in progress).
Windows shows the drive online and formatted.
I'm aware there's probably no log related to the formatting.
Is it possible the format is incomplete and the drive is shown as available anyway, or would it show up as unformatted if it was even 99% done?
I guess the question is, should I format again to be safe?
