Hello Bitsnpcs

But just like windows has an option for basic or full format,

Why in lite I can not find it?...

Hello torolite35,

have you tried Menu>All>Disks ?


Re: Complete HDD formatting - torolite35 - 08-01-2017

Excellent

I was surprised that there was not such a basic option.

Sorry but it is that I am driving with lite in English and I am learning things little by little

Thank you for your patience with me Bitsnpcs.
