Can you format PC from BIOS?

Can I format a hard drive from the BIOS? Many people ask how to format a hard disk from BIOS. The short answer is that you can’t. If you need to format a disk and you can’t do it from within Windows, you can create a bootable CD, DVD or USB flash drive and run a free third-party formatting tool.

Does formatting C drive delete operating system?

When you format C, you erase the operating system and other information on that drive. Unfortunately, it’s very much not a straightforward process. You can’t format the C drive like you can format another drive in Windows because you’re within Windows when you perform it.
