I fixed my hard drive problem, thank you for your help. But it got me
wondering how Windows interacts with hard-drives. What does formatting do?
How are directories stored? How is a file marked as deleted? How is a
partition written to the disk? I do know a little of the physical
architecture, I was just wondering about the data aspect.
