Scenarios in which accidental formatting of the drive occurs
Formatting the wrong drive: Windows lets you format a particular partition using the Format option. However, you also have the option to format a partition from the command prompt by using the format “drive letter”:\ command. You might accidentally format the wrong partition by entering the wrong drive letter i.e. C: instead of D: leading to loss of data.
Accidentally formatting a removable device on a computer: Removable devices like USB drives, flash memory cards and external hard drives are more prone to corruption due to frequent plugging and unplugging. There are often times when an error message pops up asking the user as to whether he wants to format the drive. Clicking on the format option formats the entire drive leading to data loss.
Accidental formatting of flash memory card using the format option: Besides the format option available on the PC, you also have the option to format the flash memory card used in your digital camera using the built-in format option. Accidentally selecting this option may lead to loss of data on the memory card
