    Hard drives are typically low-level formatted at the factory before they are shipped. This means that when we buy a new hard drive it already has the tracks and sectors defined on it. All that is required is to partition the hard drive into one or more partitions and then format the partition or partitions with the required file system. This type of formatting is known as high-level formatting or simply formatting using the FORMAT command. Each partition is capable of being formatted with the same or different file systems.

    Correct Option(s):

    b) High-level format the hard drive.
    c) Partition the hard drive.

    Incorrect Option(s):

    a) Low-level format the hard drive. - Low-level formatting is performed by the manufacturer. This process is not usually performed by a user. This type of format requires a specific program to perform from the manufacturer.
    d) Nothing. - To make the hard drive usable, it must be partitioned and formatted before it can be used.
