If you Manage to Completely Format this Device it may never be the Same. Yes you will probably lose that Function & Maybe Others like.. Some let you Password the Drive and make it more Secure ect. If you Really Want to Wipe the Drive then Download & Install Easeus Below... http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partitio... If That don't see the Drive or let you Wipe it I think the only method.. May be Within the Options/Preferences/Settings of the Drive Itself.
(Maybe you have a menu pop up with some Choices?) Hope it helps :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
