Format hard drive
Formatting the hard drive increases the demand on battery
power. Do not use your device for anything else and use a
charger while formatting the hard drive.
When the hard drive is formatted, all data on the drive
is permanently lost. Back up data you want to keep before
formatting the hard drive. You can use Nokia PC Suite
to back up data to a compatible PC. If your device needs
to be repaired or replaced, a back-up copy is required
to restore data protected by digital rights management
technologies (DRM).
To format the hard drive, select Options > Format hard
drive > Quick format or Full format. Use Full format to
completely clean the disk. This may be necessary if you give
your device to someone else and you want to erase all the
personal data first. Use Full format also if you have disk
corruption problems. If corrupted sectors are found,
Full format will isolate those sectors to prevent further
problems. Use Quick format for a previously formatted
disk just to quickly erase the content.
Formatting is not a 100% safe way to destroy confidential
data. Standard formatting only marks the formatted area
as available space and deletes the address to find the files
again. The recovery of formatted or even overwritten
data may still be possible with special recovery tools
and software.
Digital rights management (DRM) technologies may
prevent some back-up data from being restored. Contact
your service provider for more information about DRM
used for your content.
DRM protected content comes with a certificate that gives
you specified rights to use the content.
If your device has WMDRM protected content and you
need to format the hard drive of your device, both the
certificate and the content will be lost. This may limit your
ability to use the same content on your device again. For
more information, contact your service provider.
If your device has OMA DRM protected content, the only
way to back up both the DRM certificates and the content
is to use the backup feature of Nokia PC Suite. Other
transfer methods may not transfer the certificates, which
means that in case of file corruption, you cannot recover
the DRM certificate.
