如果您想安装Windows或者您有一个新的硬盘驱动器，请务必在使用驱动器存储重要数据之前对其进行格式化。格式化意味着删除驱动器上的任何现有数据或信息并设置文件系统^{(file system)}，以便您的操作系统^{(Operating System)}（在本例中为Windows 10）可以读取和写入驱动器中的数据。驱动器可能与另一个文件系统^{(file system)}一起使用，在这种情况下，您将无法安装Windows 10，因为它无法理解文件系统^{(file system)}，因此无法读取或向驱动器写入数据。

要解决此问题，您需要使用正确的文件系统^{(file system)}格式化您的驱动器，然后您的驱动器将准备好与Windows 10一起使用。格式化驱动器时，您可以从这些文件系统^{(file system)}中选择FAT、FAT32、ex FAT、NTFS或 ReFS文件系统^{(file system)}。您还可以选择执行快速格式或完整格式。在这两种情况下，文件都会从卷或磁盘^{(volume or disk)}中删除，但唯一的区别是驱动器也会以完整格式扫描坏扇区。

格式化任何驱动器所需的时间主要取决于磁盘的大小。不过，您可以肯定，与完整格式相比，快速格式化始终会快速完成，您也可以说完整格式的完成时间几乎是快速格式化的两倍。无论如何^(Anyway)，不​​浪费任何时间，让我们看看如何在Windows 10中格式化^{(Windows 10)}磁盘或驱动器^{(Disk or Drive)}。

如何在Windows 10中格式化^{(Windows 10)}磁盘或驱动器^{(Disk or Drive)}

确保^(Make)创建一个还原点^{(restore point)} 以防万一^{(case something)}出现问题。

方法 1：在文件资源管理器中格式化磁盘或驱动器^{(Method 1: Format a Disk or Drive in File Explorer)}

1. 按Windows Key + E打开文件资源管理器^{(File Explorer)}，然后打开这台电脑。^{(This PC.)}

2. 现在右键单击要格式化的任何驱动器（安装^{(right-click on any drive you want to format)}Windows的驱动器除外），然后从上下文菜单中选择格式化 。^{( Format )}

注意：^(Note:)如果您格式化 C:驱动器^(Drive)（通常安装Windows的位置），您将无法访问系统，因为如果您格式化此驱动器，您的操作系统^{(operating system)}也会被删除。

3. 现在从文件系统下拉列表中^{(File system drop-down)}选择支持的文件系统，例如 FAT、FAT32、exFAT、NTFS 或 ReFS，^{( system such as FAT, FAT32, exFAT, NTFS, or ReFS,)}您可以根据自己的使用选择任何人。

4. 确保将分配单元大小（集群大小）保留为^{(leave the allocation unit size (Cluster size) to)}“默认分配大小^{(Default allocation size)}”。

5.接下来，您可以通过在“卷标^{(Volume label)}”字段下给它一个名称来命名这个驱动器。^{(drive anything)}

6. 现在根据您想要快速格式化还是完整格式化，选中或取消选中“快速格式化^{(Quick Format)}”选项。

7. 最后，当您准备好后，您可以再次查看您的选择，然后单击开始^{(click Start)}。单击确定^(OK)以确认您的操作。

8. 格式化完成后，将打开一个弹出窗口，显示“格式化完成。^{(Format Complete.)}”消息，单击确定。

方法 2：使用磁盘管理在 Windows 10 中格式化磁盘或驱动器^{(Method 2: Format a Disk or Drive in Windows 10 Using Disk Management)}

1. 按 Windows 键 + R 然后键入diskmgmt.msc并按 Enter 打开磁盘管理。^{(Disk Management.)}

2. 右键单击​​要格式化的任何分区或卷^{(any partition or volume)}，然后从上下文菜单中选择格式化。^(Format)

3. 在卷标字段^{(Volume label field.)}下键入您要为驱动器指定的任何名称。

4.根据您的使用情况，从FAT、FAT32、 ex FAT、NTFS或ReFS中选择^(ReFS)文件系统。^{( file systems)}

5. 现在从分配单元大小^{(Allocation unit size)}（集群大小^{(Cluster size)}）下拉列表中确保^{(make sure)}选择默认值。^{(select Default.)}

6.根据您是要进行快速格式化还是完全格式化，选中或取消选中“^{( quick format or full format.)}执行快速格式化”选项。^{(Perform a quick format)}

7.接下来，根据您的喜好选中或取消选中“启用文件和文件夹压缩^{(Enable file and folder compression)}”选项。^{(” option)}

8. 最后，检查您的所有选择并单击确定^(OK)，然后单击确定^(OK)以确认您的操作。

9. 格式化完成后，您可以关闭磁盘管理^{(Disk Management)}。

这是 如何在 Windows 10 中格式化磁盘或驱动器，^{(How to Format a Disk or Drive in Windows 10,)}但如果您无法访问磁盘管理^{(Disk Management)}，请不要担心，请按照下一个方法进行操作。

方法 3：在Windows 10中^{(Windows 10)}使用命令提示符^{(Using Command Prompt)}格式化磁盘或驱动器^{(Disk or Drive)}

1.打开命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}。用户可以通过搜索“cmd”然后按 Enter 来执行此步骤。

2.在cmd中一一^{(cmd one)}输入以下^(Enter)命令，每一个后回车：

diskpart
list volume（记下要格式化的磁盘的卷号）^{(volume number)}
select volume #（将＃替换为上面记下的数字）

3. 现在，输入以下命令^{(below command)}在磁盘上进行完整格式化或快速格式化：

Full format: format fs=File_System label=”Drive_Name”
Quick format: format fs=File_System label=”Drive_Name” quick

注意：^(Note:) 将^(Replace)File_System替换为要与磁盘一起使用的实际文件系统^{(file system)}。您可以在上述命令中使用以下内容：FAT、FAT32、 ex FAT、NTFS或ReFS。您还需要将Drive_Name替换为要用于此磁盘的任何名称，例如 Local Disk。例如，如果您想使用NTFS 文件^{(NTFS file)}格式，那么命令将是：

format fs=ntfs label=”Aditya” quick

4. 格式化完成后，您可以关闭命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}。
