Factory formatting with WD Quick Formatter

Hi guys!

I have a 3TB external WD (My Book). I already partitioned the disk on 3 partitions with Win 7 tool. Now I need to reformat only one partition of them with WD Quick Formatter (factory default) for backing up Win 7. Is it possible to format only one partition or I got to format the entire disk?

Regards!

Hello and welcome to the WD Community.

You should be able to do that with the standard windows formatter.

See if the following link helps
