Linux is slightly different in this regard as it’s almost impossible to format a device without seeing a mention of partitions. And that always bothers people. Think of partitions as being drives within a drive. If you want to only format a USB/SD storage device, then you’ll more than likely not bother with partitions. | Linux is slightly different in this regard as it’s almost impossible to format a device without seeing a mention of partitions.

The Volumes section (lower half of right pane) analyzes and displays attributes and functions related to the volumes (partitions) on the drive. In this example, there is only one partition and it is represented graphically by the blue rectangle. If we wanted to reformat this partition, you would simply click on Format Volume. A simple pop-up menu will prompt you for the type of file system you want, and a name for the volume - then you would click the Format button. (Note: doing this will destroy any data you have stored on this partition; however, if you had more than one partition on the selected drive, the other partitions would remain unaffected.)
