Many may doubt that why rewriting data to the formatted partition would damage the original partition data since the data would have been permanently deleted after partition formatting. To understand this problem, let's first come to how operating system realize partition formatting.

How does OS realize partition formatting?
Hard disk formatting generally comprises low-level formatting and high-level formatting. High-level formatting only clear booting information generated by disk data, initialize FAT and mark logical bad track, etc. While low-level formatting mark out hard disk cylinder and track, subsequently divide track into several sectors and then mark out ID, segment, GAP, and DATA section, etc. Low-level formatting is a preparatory task prior to high-level formatting and every hard disk is performed with low-level formatting before leaving factory. Low-level formatting is a dissipative operation and would exert negative effect upon hard disk life. The formatting operation usually performed by us under Windows is high-level formatting. Under Windows, high-level formatting doesn't really delete data permanently but mark spaces occupied those deleted data as unallocated space and the deleted data still exists on hard disk. This is why we can recover data with data recovery software from formatted partition.
